The Christmas School holidays have begun.
Otherwise known as The Ultimate Test of Sanity.
One has bled profusely. Already.
It's going to be a long six weeks.
Have you ever wondered if God looks at us and thinks to himself that we're perpetually like kids on an extended holiday?
For example, today, the very. first. day, my children have been
*Argumentative
*Bored
*Fidgety
*Testing
*Loud
*Unhelpful
*Disobedient
They've hit each other, lied, yelled, broken things and thrown tantrums.
Isn't it great to know that our Father God doesn't get snappy like I do, or shrill, fed up, short tempered or longing for the day when "they'll be gone all day".
My kids are a handful. I will be relying on Him a lot.

Hang in there;)
I'm glad God doesn't get impatient with me too!
