Fall Fun!

We have been enjoying some fall fun- playing in the leaves and taking lots of walks before the winter cold weather hits! Along with the fun and beauty of fall, we also have hit a few challenges this week. We have seen the stubborn will of our son in battling with food issues. Monday night- he sat at the table for a very long time while he blatantly refused to eat even a bite of his broccoli and the food set before him. It was a battle of the will- and thankfully my dear sweet husband fought this one after a long day of work. I honestly don't know if I could have fought it after a long day I had had with a whiny boy and a very fussy baby. It is amazing how a child can stand his ground in these ways. Seeing glimpses of stubborn rebellious sin in your child is not pleasant. It is a reminder to pray for these little souls and a reminder to preach the gospel to them daily! They cannot obey on their own without the mercy and grace of God! We are great sinners yet we have a great Savior! Praying our children call out on the Rescuer- the One who can redeem them from their sin!
