O.K., I need to find another name for Wednesday Wisdom because everytime I read that it makes me think that I telling the world I am the source of wisdom. Which, is far from true. My wisdom comes from God alone. So, help me out here anyone who has a suggestion. Also, I know more people read this than my only one friend Megan from college who is my only, bless her heart, follower. So please take a few minutes to register your name and let me know you are my friend. Also, please feel free to make comments.
Now, on to the verse for this week.
Matthew 7:12 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
So far these verses that I've chosen aren't hard to understand. But my story to go along with this is that Hannah and I went to Chick Fila the other day and she went to play in the kid area. She was having so much fun until she comes out crying. She was heart broken as said "Mama, this big boy hit me (as she held her arm)........" I interrupted her and said "Well, Hannah was it an accident?". I always ask this because my little dramatic Hannah bless her heart could make it seem like the sky is falling if she drops a piece of paper on the floor. Anyway, story continued.... Hannah replied "Mama, it wasn't an accident he hit me but he didn't even say he was sorry." As more tears flow from her precious little eyes. She was crushed to know that someone could hit her and not say they are sorry. My heart broke for her. As many times as we have pounded in her head that she not only needs to apologize if she hurts someone but she also needs to ask for their forgiveness, and now at age 3 is seeing that everyone doesn't do this. Wow, this is a hard one but something she will have to learn. I think it is very sad that many mothers regardless of if they read the Bible or not don't teach their children this common verse. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
But also when I read this verse I thought about my quick interruption with Hannah and how I don't like to be interrupted when I'm talking so I need to pay more attention and stop interrupting people when they are talking. That is a bad habit of mine.
God help me to be more aware when I begin to interrupt people also help me to continue to guide Hannah as she is learning that some kids are just simply not nice.
