My cousins + uncles +aunt left this morning. Last night though, My uncles and aunt and I were building a puzzle and we were trying to ignore all the screaming/noise coming from the basement. So, we started talking about kids (surprise surprise). And my aunt was like, "How many kids do you think is the right nomber?" (dialoge to cont. R=me, A=aunt, U=an uncle)
R - Well, I definatley think that 10 is a little too many. I think 7 is a pretty good number but I'll take whatever God gives me.
U - wow, that is still alot. Not that much difference with 7 and 10
R - yea but when it comes to kids, 3 can make a humongo difference
A - well, 7 certainly wouldn't really cut down on the screaming
R - I know but, my kids aint' gonna scream
*all chuckle*
A - well, when you find the secret, come tell us
R - okay.
Anyways, I am kicking myself because I really wanted to say, "Well, your kids would act a WHOLE lot better if you would discipline them. I mean come on! If you raise them so that they know if they scream they get what they want, then duh! They are gonna scream and (excuse the expression) "raise hell" over EVERYTHING. I mean HELLO!!" Well, I am really glad I didn't say that but yea, I wish I could've. But yea. Anyways. I love them, I just don't really know how to witness to them. Welperdoodles.
The End.

You know, your "empathy disorder" makes me think of something we were discussing in Bible study on Wednesday. See, God gives people grace to get through their circumstances in which He sets them. He will never give you more than you can handle, yet at the same time He always gives you sufficient strength. So it's kind of like -- in my mind -- 'push a little, give a little'. Anyway, dad was talking about how when someone is suffering, it's usually almost harder on the family and close friends who are observing and feeling the pain that the person is experiencing. His point he made was that it's so hard on the observer because it isn't their trial/circumstance. Therefore, God isn't giving that person the grace to get through that particular trial. He instead gives them grace to be a good, understanding, helpful, caring friend/family member.
Umm...did that make ANY sense? Prolly not. Hehe oh well.
