Isn't it the desire of every Christian mother's heart to hear her children quoting Scripture? Accurately and appropriately? Then, why is my heart not all warm and tingly right now?
Monday night I went into Matthew's room to say goodnight. And to, uh, remind him there was a kitchen full of dishes he needed to wash before he went to bed. He was engrossed in a video, but assured me he would get those dishes done. I said, "OK. Don't forget." And gave him the look. Matthew looked back at me and asked, "Or what?" And I said, "Or, I just might get up tomorrow morning, see the un-done dishes, and get a bucket of ice water to dump on you." At that, my wise young man said, "Mom. Remember what God says: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I congratulated my son for his appropriate use of Scripture. And we laughed together. But I'm still waiting for the warm heart. *wink*
