Before I went to bed last night, I read Denise's Thankful Thursday. If you have read it, " I have Joy Down in my Heart" is probably playing in your head. It is going to be a joyful day, because I can't get that tune out of my head.
I was in the classroom preparing for schoolwork, when I heard The Inquisitor and Minnie carrying on a conversation in the living room. I was waiting for a "Stop it !" or "It's my turn to watch a show", etc. However, they continued to talk to each other, as if they were talking to a friend. What a joyful sound to my ears .
My heart was filled with joy when Minnie stood up for her big brother. Because of The Inquisitor's schoolwork load, he doesn't have time to socialize with a close friend. His friend was offended and hurt by it. The friend has a sister, who is Minnie's best friend. The family and Minnie were on their way home, when she overheard the brother said that he thinks The Inquisitor is depressed. Minnie later informed the friend that her brother is not depressed, and Mom expects him and her to stay on schedule with the schoolwork.
I have a spiritual joy knowing that it is in God's time, not my time, when my "lost" loved ones will bow their knees to Him.
My daily joy is knowing that my husband, my best friend, loves me unconditionally.
Your children are a blessing!
What a joy it is when siblings get along so well! Good training at home, Mom and Dad!
Have a blessed weekend.
