I've been battling Mitchell all day. "Do your chores!" "Get along!" "Do your schoolwork!" Sigh. Finally I decided that I would leave it alone. His Dad could deal with his laziness when he got home... not much of an anniversary gift but it hasn't been great for me, either!

So here I sit in judgment when Mitchell pipes up and says, "Mom, what's your temptation?" Choosing honesty over nobility I said, "Feeling sorry for myself and complaining." "Oh," he says. "Mine is messing around and playing when I should be working."
Shoot. He got me. We all struggle with something, don't we? Where did my compassion go today? When did I start yelling instead of guiding and teaching? As difficult as Mitch can be, there is no denying that God speaks thru him straight to my heart.
I have been sufficiently humbled.
