You teach them correct principles

and hope they will govern themselves. Right?

First off, in the previous blog I informed you that one of our cameras died during my 5K race. We HAD a second camera that Ryan used to take pictures for his designs at work. He would never bring it back home, thus the second camera. Well, last week at work someone took it. The only pictures on there were of Kayla's preschool graduation. His boss was kind enough to buy him a new camera, so hopefully I'll be back to blogging. I enjoy blogging so much better with pics.

Now back to the introduction of this blog.
When I wake up in the morning one of my first thoughts are, "What principle am I going to be forced to teach this day." Usually referring to, what is Trevor going to do today? Kayla seems to just "know" not to do or say certain things. Trevor, well he's the reason why I am reading "Bring Up Boys" by Dr. James Dopson.
There are times though, that I think Trevor rubs off on Kayla and she does something that is out of character. Last week she did. We were at church and the kids were quietly playing in the YW's room and I was in the kitchen. I couldn't see them, but I could hear them. I guess they got the idea that it would be fun to jump off the table. I guess Trevor did it first, and he had shoes on, and then Kayla followed but she didn't have shoes on. I heard her jump and with it came an instant scream. Usually it's Trevor that has to feel the pain before he stops misbehaving, but this time it was Kayla.
I checked her out seeing if anything was broken, and within a few minutes she was able to walk on, but with a limp. We gathered up our things to leave, and as we were walking out the door we were talking about how we don't jump off furniture. She then looked at me and said, "Mom, I asked Jesus to heal me and he hasn't yet."
My heart melted at that point. Although, the principle of why we don't jump off the furniture was temporally forgotten, the principle that Jesus can heal us is there. Am I glad that she felt pain that day, no. Am I thankful that at 5 she understands and has faith enough to ask Jesus to heal her, yes.
