He grieved for those who were lost in sin. His heart broke for them. He was in anguish over their rebellion.<br /><br />Is that how I feel when I see someone in deep sin? Does my heart break for them, do I long to tell them the gospel, do I pray for peace for them?<br /><br />Or does it stem from the opposite? Do I love feeling superior? Do I wish they would suffer the consequences of their actions, when I would never wish that I would suffer the consequences of my own sin?<br /><br />It's been incredibly convicting.<br /><br />As far as the mothering thing - the more children I have, the more I fail. It's been great at relieving me of judgment. I still judge the obvious - abuse, neglect, etc. But breast or bottle? Scheduling or demand feeding? Spank or time out? Vaccinations or no? Germ avoidance or germ emergence? Oh, heavens. Both are wrong, both are right. We all just do what we can to make it through the day, and the last thing we need is judgment from other moms.<br /><br />But for the record - I would understand if you sprayed everyone who came into the house with a whole can of Lysol. You do what you have to do. YOU ARE THE MOMMA.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642663420263075437.post-10439000990958439662009-05-05T00:21:00.000-04:002009-05-05T00:21:00.000-04:00Thanks for reminding me today not to judge others....Thanks for reminding me today not to judge others. I think I do it when I feel judged and have a tendency to do so because the person I judge harshest is myself. I don't blamy you for keeping your son home. while others may think it is silly, we did not go through what you did or have the same belief about germs as you so thanks for the reminder. as a semi-aside, my son was also born with a chd which they foudn on an ultra sound a week before he was born. check it out on my blog or e-mail me if you wish. amysblog@pa.netAmyhttp://user.pa.net/~john.and.amy/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642663420263075437.post-28903586972892150182009-05-04T00:09:00.000-04:002009-05-04T00:09:00.000-04:00Thank you for your words that brings a greater and...Thank you for your words that brings a greater and more clear truth about Him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
