Happiness Isn't Required to Rejoice By Meg Bucher "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 ESV "Don't draw from the pile when there's a wild card in your hand." My husband repeated the proper UNO rules to my nine-year-old, as our oldest drained all the hot water for her shower. "Mom… it's your turn." Life is transitioning from when bedtime was a pretty reliable staple to an era where our kids stay up later than we can. Change can tempt us to assume something is wrong. Our youngest needs to move until her head hits the pillow, which pushes every parental button trying to decompress at the end of the day. Instead of battling her behavior, we play UNO. We celebrate who she is alongside her, and peace prevails. |
