We have tons of good times parenting the kids. But not less some bad moments.
Some days were just desperate... such as when they are just naughty because it is their job to be naughty. C'mon, they are kids...
Some days were so desperate...
like when she intentionally peed on my childhood photo album.
like when he screamed and told me he hates me.
like when he just said he would throw away his sister.
like when.... bla bla bla..
One day an auntie come from Singapore and gave me a small card titled "31 Biblical Virtues to pray for your kids". So one virtue per day.
The first time I use this card is when Number One and Number Two were fighting with each other without a definite cause, saying unkind words.
I said, "Please, dont say mean words. How would you feel if I say mean words to you?"
They immediately changed their language to blabbering, bitching to each other.
i was like... what?? (do you quarrel for the sake of quarrelling itself?)
And he hit her. She screamed the house down. He yelled back.
i was so mad but don't know who to scold.
So I went to an empty room, start to pray. I pulled out this card and start to read it. Number One came in and asking me, "What are you doing Mama?"
"I am praying for you and your sister and brother, Son."
I started to read this card out loud, from number 1 to number 31.
He sit down quietly and listened.
Halfway he went out to find his sister.
I finished the prayer to the sight that both of them playing together lovingly, friendly, and peacefully.
Hmmm, it must be the power of Prayer...
So here, a printable card for you too...
Shalom, Alice
