Funny thing...



how God gives you what you need right when you need it...

We had been having some trouble with Bubs at school. He's never been the behavior problem but for some reason the last few days at school have not been good ones. We have had to really come down on him lately. The teacher at school was at her wits end the last few days and has even had to call me from school. He's just been really silly and doesn't seem to want to settle down and listen. He's been doing some "odd" things also like hiding under tables and running from the teachers. I could only just pray that God could work something out in his little heart...and help his momma to stop crying about what was going on with him and how those other kids in his class must really think he's "weird." So... Brian and I have this conversation reminding ourselves that God did create Bubs special for His purpose. He is different in some ways but he still is a kid...most every kid has their rebellion, right? Just Bubs is a bit atypical...BUT praying still that the other kids don't think he's "weird. "

Then the next morning this was on YAHOO...

If you haven't seen it...it's about a high school kid that scores a touchdown for his school because his coach and his team think that he's worth it...they know he's a little different but they don't think he's "weird." He's truly changed their lives for the better...

So...maybe knowing Bubs (even seeing him misbehave) will somehow change those little lives for the better too...

See...God knew I needed to remember that! :)

Your Bubs is such a handsome guy & I love this entry! Every child is created for the purpose of bringing glory to God and increasing His kingdom. And God has beautifully matched children to parents. We parents are not without the tools needed to raise godly children that can impact this fallen world in great ways. And it sounds like you are doing a great job :)
