After I cut up an orange for my kids to eat my 3 year old
said, “Mommy, this piece has seeds in it.”
I replied, “So take them out.
There will be seeds in life that you’ll have to take out so start to
know how to do it now…” I used to, and still do on occasion, be one
of those moms that cut out all the seeds from the fruit and cut the tops off
the strawberries. Our kids will have to
learn how to navigate the pits, seeds, strawberry tops (tribulation) of life someday
so why not start their navigation learning now.
“These
things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
There are awesome teaching moments like this every day. Let’s not separate our devotional / Bible
study learning from the teaching we could pass on to our little ones.
Simple but good truth! Loved this! Thanks Laura!
