..."Where did we get this terrible power?"<br /><br />It's such a good question, and a good observation that we troll about on the surface of the water, and cannot fathom the depths.<br /><br />It seems on a personal level we have only the powers others impute to us. For Missy, it is a girl's need to have a strong father, and if she is lucky, to have him bestow his validation upon her, as you did. All children push their limits knowingly, and they the lucky few have patient parents who let their dismay be known, but follow it with confirmation.<br /><br />In retrospect, I wish I had been more theatrical, emotionally, and could have received that validation. Alas, I was reserved, and do not ever remember asking if I was still loved. It seems healthy, tough, to ask for that reassurance. I think it is necessary theatre.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-18643399906848026832011-11-23T20:33:35.771-07:002011-11-23T20:33:35.771-07:00So, I'm going over to GFT to see what's ha...So, I'm going over to GFT to see what's happening in Oregon, after I read about and see a Texas judge's method of disciplining his daughter, older than yours, and the language he uses with her.<br /><br />This verse has always been hard for me, Matthew 7<br /><br /><b><i>9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!</i></b><br /><br />I'm not linking to the video, that's up to you. Here's the C&L link with the video link<br /><br />http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/abusive-texas-judge-claims-child-abuse-victi<br /><br />Jesus' famous words about forgiveness, "They don't know what they're doing" applies to good as well, I think.<br /><br />You and your bride have no idea what your love for your child will produce eventually, but I'm confident it will be good. From Good Fruit comes Good.<br /><br />I shudder at what possible outcome will appear out of the Texas judge's actions legal and domestic.<br /><br />Have a Pleasant ThanksGiving.<br /><br />bbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-12320721224897561152011-11-23T17:49:23.457-07:002011-11-23T17:49:23.457-07:00Good story, nicely told.

But, they hold the power over ours. Thanks for the reminder to be gentle with that power.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517551513014444564noreply@blogger.com
