I know I can. <br /><br />And thank you so much for your kind comments ladies. As you well know it is all the Lord's Word, His wisdom and His strength. Without His grace we'd all be lost-- especially me! <br /><br />I think true wisdom is knowing what is right to do- and doing it regardless of the personal sacrifice. May we always encourage one another to love and good deeds for the glory of God!<br /><br /><br />Richest blessings to you!<br />RebeccaRebecca Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396031817687876256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708411184309597995.post-18011328788898974772010-09-19T17:50:40.703-07:002010-09-19T17:50:40.703-07:00Thank you for sharing your wonderful wisdom!

I am realizing that I often make it easy for her to disobey (point #3) because I do not recognize her sin as easily as that of her brothers. [Perhaps because it mirrors mine too closely.]<br />I am encouraged to begin "blessing training" in earnest for both of us!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731484871860837017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708411184309597995.post-46060685040100476952010-09-19T16:17:37.493-07:002010-09-19T16:17:37.493-07:00This post was such an encouragement!

Sometimes I can get so wound up in the problem and begin to try to "fix it" myself -- that I forget to focus myself and with my little one on the Lord first --- and move forward form there.

It began with moving house and continued with a number of illnesses; not to mention being extremely busy. All of this has contributed to a couple of the children developing an amazing ability to whine! I can see that I have made it easy for them to disobey in recent times. Thanks again for this wonderfully timely reminder!~Amanda in Vichttp://www.manymedwins.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708411184309597995.post-75573428768736153442010-09-18T22:43:33.242-07:002010-09-18T22:43:33.242-07:00Excellent!

Sometimes children don’t understand how annoying the sound of whining can be. My latest children's book, "Peter and the Whimper-Whineys" by Sherrill S. Cannon is a story of a little rabbit who does nothing but whine. This rhyming book should be read with alternating normal voice and whining voice, according to the character speaking. Children learn that Whimper-Whineyland is not a fun place to be, not just for all the whining and crying that goes on but for all the other unpleasant character traits exemplified!!! The book can be found on amazon.com where there is the read-inside-the-book feature, as well as on bn.com. I hope that this might help your child as well as it has helped my children and grandchildren!Sherrill S.
