Earlier this week Rebecca had a bit of a situation at school.
Nothing serious, a mild encounter with another child - don't
you hate bullying.
Anyway, so that evening we are chatting about it and I always
tell her not to respond in kind (either talk to a teacher or me later
if its not serious), but clearly my heart is troubled over it, because
out of my mouth I hear myself say 'Just tell him that bullies are
actually babies'. Heavens, how is that helpful!!
So my darling replies, 'But you always say that we need self-control...
its a fruit of the Spirit.' - don't that just set you straight!
'To make an apt answer is a joy to a man (woman) and a
word in season, how good it is! (Proverbs)
