It was another hot and stuffy day.  I had to babysit my sister's kids and my little boy.  I also had some errands to run.  So I had to pack all the three kids in their car seats and I headed towards the mall.  <br><br>



A car filled with kids is equal to a wild hurricane.  I was kind of losing it;  the screaming (they were singing joyously - but my bad day made it sound like screams) by the kids was giving me a headache.  All I could say was,  "PLEASE BE QUIET" - but they were just enjoying their day out, fascinated with the ability to scream.  <br><br>



My irritation, restlessness, and routine life just got a hold of me. I didn't know what to do, so I said, "That's it! Everybody out! I am going to leave all three of you on the roadside and go home. You are too much to handle."  <br><br>



There was absolute pin drop silence in the car.  I felt guilty for a minute.  My 4-year old son, David, looked at me and said, "Mom! Aren't we gifts from Jesus to you? Why would you want to leave us on the road?"<br><br>



My anger just disappeared and I started laughing. His sentence was so profound that I could only laugh, even though the truth brought tears in my eyes.  How could I have been so grouchy?  The kids started laughing and after that their screams - which I guess is normal with kids, was music to my ears. <br><br>



When I took them for a stroll in the mall, a lady came up to me and said,  "I wish I was in your shoes. It's been 12 years since I got married and I don't have kids."  I had an opportunity to pray with her and minister to her.<br><br>



Kids are a blessing from the Lord. Disciplining them and bringing them up in the Lord is a responsibility laid upon each parent, but taking time to enjoy with them everyday, even amidst our problems, is really worth it....!!!! <br><br>



It's nice to be in kids shoes too......we can learn from them to have fun even on a hot stuffy day.
