It's ok They will still Love you...

One night we went to visit my parents. We got over their and she was watching some of the other cousins while their parents attended a funeral. So Coleman and his cousin went to play downstairs. Later they came up to tell us how they needed some cardboard to cover something. We were in the middle of a March Madness basketball game so we didn't really pay attention like we should have.

Than we found out that they went to Grandma. Grandma did not say anything to us she just quietly was making a cover out of cardboard for the window. Later we found out why. They were downstairs playing with some things they were asked not to play with and Cole threw something and than his cousin threw something but hers went right through the basement window; breaking the old window.

Later we find out from the cousin that she did not want to come up and tell what had happened, she was scared. Than she told us what Cole told her. "It's ok, Grandma and your Mom will still love you, because when I do something bad my Mom still loves me"

Oh how I love that little boy! Kevin and I as parents have tried to emphasis with him that we will always love him even when he makes a wrong choice.

This was a good thing to remember today. Especially when I have felt like I am not doing great on how I respond to Cole fighting with his sister/cousins or whining and other little parenting challenges. Sometimes I get after myself thinking man I handled that bad. But I know it's ok My Heavenly Father still loves me and will help me as I ask for his help in guiding me to be the Mother I want to be.

I also have an awesome Mother who taught me today that I do need to be a little more compassionate. It is not my strong point and I need to work on it. I do love to see a good Mom comforting her child.
