Well last night I was proud of my kids, the night before Hannah had found a $300 zune music device on the bus and brought it home. All the kids were fighting over it. Then I stepped in and said why are you fighting over something that is not any of yours. I explained to Hannah that she had to return it to the bus driver so that he can find who it belongs too. She was upset and said well mom someone took my nintendo ds. I explained, but wouldn't it have been nice to of had that person be honest and return it to the bus driver? She said yes. Now Nick was another story he actually cried all night and was mad at me because he thought he could keep it because he has never had a music thing... Well I was very impatient and disappointed that he didn't understand. He is 9.. So after I calmed down I went in to his room where he was crying and I explained the rights again. I think he understood but was still upset. When my husband got home he new there was something wrong with me and I made it short and sweet and he said that is the right thing to doo. I took a deep breath gave him a hung and said I am going to bed. I tossed and turned all night with anger and disappointment. I know that kids have so many things these days and I can understand where Hannah was pulling herself in the direction of taking it because something has been taken from her. But by my guidance I think she realized and understands that she is a great honest person by doing what she did.
The next morning Nick was still angry, I was loud and annoying in the morning trying to be happy and shouting "rise and shine and give god your glory glory" He glared at me with annoyance but he smiled. It is very difficult to get our children in the right direction but If we don't they will become followers of the devil. It is our responsibility to guide them in the path that the Lord choices.
I pray for the Lord to protect my children and guide them to become honest and good people... Especially of theses times of trial for them.
