Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Quiet Afternoon?
So what do we do around here for a quiet afternoon?
The kids, and sometimes the dog, play tackle, on top of Dad!
David's weakness is that he does not like to have his belly button touched, so that is the usual target. When they are done his belly is usually covered with red marks from all the fingers headed towards the mark!
When the older kids were little, my rule was--we would play till someone cried--ie. it got too rough. It was interesting to hear that loud thunk of someone landing on the ground and all the others calling out, "Don't cry!! We will have to stop!" Then they would jump right back in. Guess it may not be the best way to teach compassion!
