The last couple weeks, the girls have started fighting…real knock down drag out fights. The kind that last all day and the kind that makes you want to scream “stop the drama!! You’re not even prepubescent yet!”
In the exhaustion following the week of sickness, I’ve been dealing with the girls’ fighting by sending them to the corner and taking away toys. It was all I had the energy to do.
Today was the day to quit dealing with the wrong behavior and start dealing with the heart issue behind the behavior.
“For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” Matthew 12:34
Its amazing. Simply defining love as the Bible defines it and then writing down every time they show certain aspects of love has completely changed our day. Its also helped us memorize I Corinthians 13:4 faster =)
