Alli and Me

We have had some wonderful days...We REALLY Have!
Today, after school was over, the girls had to do their chores. This for some reason is a trigger for Miss Alli.
While Sarah was doing her job, Alli asked her to help her with HER job. Sarah said, "I can't, I'm doing my own job."

I heard Alli yell, "You are SO LAZY!"
Inside, I was fuming, because Sarah is NOT lazy... Alli was wanting Sarah to do her job FOR her.
So I called her in.
I let her know I was not pleased that she had called Sarah Lazy.  She raised her voice, and then I raised my voice! Before we knew it, Alli was sitting on a chair in my room waiting for me to decide what to do........

We were both angry.
After much thought, I asked her:  Alli, what can we do to make things better?  She said, "I have NO idea!"
So I said, "Well, I do!"
I need to say I 'm sorry for getting angry.
She said, "I can take deep breaths!"
I said, "Me too!"
She said, "I can do my job myself!"
I said, "I can be more patient."
She said, "I can say I'm sorry!"
I said, "Me too!"
And before we knew it, we were both laughing!

She apologized to Sarah and to me, and I apologized to her.... and it was OVER!
She asked, "Do you think I deserve to use the computer?" I told her... no...but then, I don't deserve eternal life, and God has given that to me because of His Grace! So, yes, you can use the computer....

She was so HAPPY the rest of the evening! :)
Me too. :)
