I wasn't blessed with such a sweet voice and mine carries. I do try though not to yell and I've gotten better as the years have gone by (I came from a family of yellers so this was difficult for me). All we can do is to do our best! I love your response to them about the ice cream sandwiches, how clever!onlymeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880378084448908090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-18891859734038977572008-04-22T14:31:00.000-07:002008-04-22T14:31:00.000-07:00Kathi, I loved looking at your blog and thank you ...Kathi, I loved looking at your blog and thank you so much for stopping by mine.

It is indeed important to pray for wisdom and heed the Holy Spirit’s gentle nudges before making decisions. Otherwise, we risk acting on fleeting emotions, instead. Keep on encouraging mothers. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.cherisebopape.authorweblog.com/default.asp?date=new" REL="nofollow"> www.CheriseBopape.authorweblog.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-25239322760732138422008-04-21T14:17:00.000-07:002008-04-21T14:17:00.000-07:00What a great post, Kathi.

I love the ice cream sandwich story...and I love that you discerned that it was the Lord prompting you at that moment to use the situation as a discipline. Wow. I think all of us as mothers at one time or another feel the same way...not adequate, that we are failing our kids and it is most definitely Satan's lies...He is trying to undo what the Lord is doing. Ha. God will get the last laugh. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I will be back to yours.

This is such an encouraging post, and I think the not letting them have sweets was perfect ......until they were sweeter of course. Sometimes I think that people assume being a *christian* that we all have perfect families with children who never act out of line or have the same kind of issues as others. But they do.....and it all depends on what we as parents show them is the right road to take in resolving it. You are doing a great job!!!
