Like I once heard, worry is just a form of atheism.

My son sent me this piece…….I know why…….I come from a long line of worrying mothers and grandmothers and am trying (with God’s help) to end it with me.

Have a safe trip and a fruitful conference!

Thanks, Valerie, for sending Billie to Doug’s blog. We’re in Virginia, and this afternoon is the first moment I’ve had to check in. So, as I was scrolling down to tell Billie it was one of my husband’s calls to worship she was looking for, I saw you had already taken care of business for me! Would you house sit for us too?

Many Blessings,
Nancy

Gotta tell this story…my youngest son had just come downstairs after rest time while I was clicking over to the Femina site. As I finished up reading the comments under “Widsom Doesn’t Worry,” we began to discuss an earlier incident when he had thrown a fit after losing a board game to his older brother. I followed Valerie’s link to the Mablog story about the jealous younger son and told him, “Hey, here’s a story for you.” We read it together. “Sure–do your best to beat your brother at the game,” I said, “but if you don’t, then rejoice in his winning. And next time you play, try again to win.”

A timely link to stumble across at that moment–thanks, Valerie!

You’re welcome. I had a feeling that’s what you were actually looking for, but I know what it’s like to be sure I’ve seen something somewhere only to have turn up someplace else!

Valerie!! That’s IT!! I guess I confused my sources. Our younger son is not at this place yet, but our eldest can’t beat Daddy in a race or a wrestling match (and Daddy doesn’t let him!) and it has been a source of anger for him. I’m hoping a story will help me to teach him to lose rightly. Thanks!!

Billie, I don’t know about the Credenda article, but how about this?

How true. And how I needed to remember this today. Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
