Precious Moments: Brotherly Love

Pretty sure every mother has those days, weeks, months when they wonder if anything being taught is going in...kindness, sharing, brotherly love, showing respect...

Part of God's grace is the glimpses he gives in the middle of those times that even though depravity is real, he is working in their little hearts, and it gives this mother's heart joy in the midst of the frustrations.

At supper tonight Brandon, completely unprompted and rather randomly said, "Mom, we need to always love God."  Yes, buddy!!!

And then tonight, while waiting for his bed to be made, Brandon climbed up in the rocking chair.  Micah started throwing a fit because he wanted to be there too.  It was just one more fight in a long string of daily, brotherly fights.  But suddenly Brandon stopped and said, "Micah, there's room for both of us.  Sit here."

Thank you, Lord, for those small glimpses of your work in their hearts, and your grace in showing me those glimpses on some of the more frustrating days.
