I’m so frustrated .. it seems that whenever my grandkids don’t get what they want they rail against family. Not all my grandkids, mind you, just a couple of them.
It makes me wonder what they expect of family. What SHOULD we expect from family?
1= love
2=respect
3=understanding
4=forgiveness
5=time

Hmmm. Sounds like what we expect from God. When we, His children don’t get what we want, we tend to rail against Him.

My son has been there for his kids through thick and thicker, yet he’s the first one they blame when their bad choices put them in harms way.

And, we tend to do that with God. We casually make bad choices then expect Him to make the consequences go away for us.

Lord, let me not expect You to shield me from my consequences, but guide me in my decisions before I make those life altering bad choices.
