Lesson Learned!

My kids often show such amazing Biblical understanding by maintaining such a wholesome simplicity! God uses them to teach me every day! I had to share the lesson they have imparted on me today...

So on Friday we talked about making good decisions in Homeschool. Cricket summarized our lesson like this: 
"So, when mom tells us to do something and we don't want to do it, that is the Devil whispering to us that we should whine and throw a fit. But God wants us to do the right thing and make good decisions and mom knows what a good decision is. So if we listen to the God we get closer to him and the Devil leaves us alone and if we listen to the Devil, well... I DO NOT want to be close to the Devil!" :)

So... today the kids are doing a project that is not particularly Cricket's cup of tea. He sighs and says to me with a determined look on his face, "mom, I do not like this work and I am getting very tired of it but I know God wants me to make the right choices and not whine, so I am not giving up!" :)

and then my heart smiled!

the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
