Blessing from God

Our children are a gift from God as you all know. I am thankful for my children and grandchildren. I have learned a lot from them. When my kids were small they would fight all the time. This would trouble me. I knew this was not what the Lord wanted. I begain to seek the Lord to know what I could do to change this. I told them that they were a gift to each other from God, that seemed to help some. Them one day the Lord gave this to me. I was so comforted to see this work in my home. I set them both down and told them that there was a monster that lived inside them. It was in a cage and they had a key. When they would start to get up set at each other then they would run over to get the key and unlock the door to the cage and let the monster out. Once the monster was out it was very hard to put the monster back in the cage. So when you start to get up set at each other and your running over to get the key that's when you can pray and ask Jesus to help you to not be mad and help you to love each other. There little eyes were big and they were listing to me very close. When I was done talking to them they went off to play. Not to long after that I heard one of them getting upset with the other. I went to the room where they were playing and asked them if they were running over to get the key and they said very up set yes. I then said lets pray and they ran over into my arms and we all prayed. This gave my children a mental picture of there flesh rising and taught them to pray when they got up set. The Lord is so good to us.

The other day my grandson was over and we were playing a game. I won the game and he was up set about it. I talked to him about being up set. He is nine years old. His mom came in the room and saw this and she asked him if he wanted to do ten blessing. I looked at her and ask what is ten blessing? My grandson was still up set about loosing the game. So she asked him to count ten blessing for us. He started to count them and by the time he was on his fifth blessing his little brother who is two ran over and hugged him and said that his heart was already happy. This touched my heart so much. I was so comforted by this. My daughter was having a hard time at work and called me and was telling me about it and it came to my mind to ask her if she needed to count ten blessing. She got quite and I said one then she started to count and she had a happy heart at the end. We both laughed and thanked the Lord for each other. She then told me that her hubby was up set and started to count his blessing out loud, there son ran over and said that he wanted to hear daddy's blessing. What a wonderful tool the Lord has given us. I wanted to share this with my dear sister's because it touched my heart and I hope it will touch yours.
