dealing with little kids

Postby teen4truth » Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:19 pm

God has put a lot of little kids into my life, espeically little girls. I love trying to mentor them and lead them towards him, but....they are SELFISH and ANNOYING and don't care about anyone's feelings. I know that that's just Satan's handiwork showing through, and that God can use me as an example of how to be a lady. But it's really hard sometimes. They're constantly around me, too....one of my litte cousins is even living with us for a while.

Yesterday I even had a 'burst out' of bottled in emotion.

Please pray
-that I'll have patience and strength when dealing with the kids in my life
-that God will use me in each of their lives however he wants to, and that I will not stand in his way
-that they will each have a relationship with him someday

thank you!

I'll pray for you, I know what it feels like to be surronded by little kids. God has placed these kids in your life for a reason. Hope everything works, but I will still pray for you.
Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.

He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.

He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:

"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."

The lord replied:

"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

Prayers~

Remember, if they're really being naughty, you probably don't have the authority to discipline them, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tell someone who does. (For their good, not just yours!)
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
