I'd say "Did you see that ... if X had not acted this way then Y would not have done this and ..." I use the opportunity for a quick unplanned talk, asking their views on matters and how they interpret it ... or how they would have behaved in the circumstances.<br /><br />Prayers at all times ... and God will provide you with the opportunities to talk ... and listen.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-71752790273444564102010-08-22T15:43:13.099-07:002010-08-22T15:43:13.099-07:00I have tried talking with them as often as possibl...I have tried talking with them as often as possible,hope to make every moment count.

He usually shares things that went on every time he gets out of school. Until we get home, he gets some snack and sits down to keep chatting with me. I find it precious and if there's an opportunity to share His wisdom/discernment, I take advantage of that precious time.<br /><br />Sometimes, I'm the one who ends up learning things from him. Blessings to you sister Tracy. You're a great mom.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-4421194665819485512010-08-21T17:02:24.970-07:002010-08-21T17:02:24.970-07:00Planned talks seem to turn out badly.
