Who has a request or praise to share today?
Psalm 119:62-68
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

Praise Report: Becca is having a fabulous time at camp! She made a friend named Kaitlyn the very first day! I saw her briefly yesterday as she had forgotten her goggles. When she saw me, she ran over to me with a big smile on her face and said, “Thanks so much, Momma! I love you!” and ran back to catch up with her group. So, I know she’s having a good time. Otherwise, my impromptu visit would have resulted in clingy behavior and pleas to take her home. Thanks again for all your prayers!

Trouble here at the nest. The three older boys have made allegations about inappropriate behavior from husband toward the older girls. The girls deny it and the Sheriff and CPS have to sort through it all. Husband is in Florida right now and not available for them to interview. Prayer for truth to come out and peace to reign as God is in control.

Heavenly Father,
You are the only One we can look to when things become so complex and confused. You are love and You are truth. We know You love justice and have given us Your Ten Commandments to live by day by day. Your rules are for our good. I pray for all the young people in the care of Mumsee and Mike to strive to live by Your rules. Those young people come out of damaging situations and must learn a new way to live where chaos and dishonesty are not the rule. Help them to be accepting of this new and better way to live, according to Your order. Please make Your truth become clear to the authorities. Help them to be thorough in their investigation without further damaging children by their questioning. May they not use leading questions that would sway the children into giving misleading answers. I pray for a good outcome for all involved. May You do another of Your amazing feats where You turn something bad into something good for those who love You and are called by You. In the name of Jesus, Amen

mumsee, praying this all gets resolved quickly, that God will move good people into place who are experienced, who seek the truth, and who know how to sort out fact from fiction in a gentle but clear way. Peace for you all while you go through all of this, God is, indeed, in control and can be trusted in all times. He has a purpose he is working out through all of this. You are His. Trust in that.

Hubby’s been gone for only two days and the Kid is throwing one of his mega fits.
Of course then I read Mumsee’s post and realized I don’t have serious problems. Praying for you Mumsee.

kbells, I don’t remember how old your son is, but one thing I once picked up from a book was if the child is not cooperative then if you tell them that at some point in the future they are going to want something and you will have to say no to their request because of their current behavior…the not knowing of what they will be missing out on can be enough to make them stop the fit and think about what they might want that you are talking about. That helped me with my son. He would decide he would cooperate in order to receive a future good outcome. Of course this is for a child who can think about the future and not for a real young child.

Janice, I have tried that. Sometimes it works and sometimes you have to ride it out and let him live with the consequence afterward. Usually when his father leaves for a long trip there will be a couple of days of testing me. He is ten and old enough to think about the future, sometimes he chooses not to. He has had to pay for enough things that there hasn’t been any breaking in a few years but yelling, refusal to do what he’s told and occasional bad words still happen. He is on bread and water right now. That means grounded from everything.

Mumsee – If you don’t mind my asking, why would the boys do such a thing?

Damaged children do and say a lot of things. Some of it true, some of it not.
