how's your week been?
Most importantly stands out a testimony I heard this week. It wouldn't have been so significant if I hadn't heard the same story told again by another person only a few days later. I was able to say, "hey, I know how this will end, you should stop."
On the upside, I was able to have dinner with both my kids last night. (You know when I take the kids out for dinner that I either just got paid or it's been a long day.) It was nice to see them together. They've grown so much. I can't help it. I have to remember how they were when they were little. My babies!
If I had to choose one thing, one idea that seems to have threaded its way throughout my week, I would have to say that it was/is "taking responsibility for your own feelings and actions". I can't begin to tell you how this one theme seems to be in the background of every story, every incident, and every person this week.
The popular ideology is that "if I'm doing it to benefit someone I care about then its ok if it hurts me and if it hurts me, even if I let it happen, it's their fault."
WRONG, wrongo!!!! It's your fault if you let someone trample you, even if it's someone you love.
Another upside is that one of my students learned to apologize, say, "I'm sorry" and not get mad and storm off. He's so funny, cause now he walks around apologizing all day! ALL DAY!
