And he ...You are so blessed to have Gabe for a son! And he is blessed to have you as his prayer warrior mama! I get so disheartened when I let my mind wander to what our kids go through at school and what they will go through in life..it breaks my heart that there are mean people in the world who are mean for no other reason then they want to be!<br /><br />I'm so proud of Gabe, as I know you are. I pray the Lord will keep his heart soft and that others' lives woud be changed because he has decided to stand apart.Football and Fried Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199596489592299649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-70467671325772345462011-11-01T20:19:55.778-05:002011-11-01T20:19:55.778-05:00Oh Angie, I anticpate some of these type moments (...Oh Angie, I anticpate some of these type moments (for different reasons) and I am trying to prepare my daughter. <br /><br />I couldn't agree more with parenting with intent. On our way to school we pray just before we arrive and I am going to make sure we specifically add being kind to others as well as not saying anything if somebody is unkind to us. <br /><br />You are a great example teaching love & kindness through your parenting. <br /><br />Abundant Grace at the Sanders home!<br /><br />I will remember Gabe tonight in my prayers.<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />TinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611865831958609009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-70121290488658828852011-10-27T16:29:03.572-05:002011-10-27T16:29:03.572-05:00Oh my -- he is an incredibly sweet son!

A big portion of what should be "fun" time at school is spent with her getting extra reading help. As her Mom it's hard enough for me to know she's struggling with something. Like your Gabe, she has the BEST heart. She is so selfless and loving. She enjoys simplicity and doesn't ask for much. <br /><br />I'm afraid if someone called her "stupid" my reaction would not be as godly as yours. Someone might have to bail me out of jail before I even get to the part about grace. :) You're very right, though...we HAVE to be intentional about training our children. They WON'T just grow into Christ's image without us pointing them that way. And ultimately, that's WAY more important than reading scores and report card grades. <br /><br />I said a prayer for your Gabe...and his Mama. I know this isn't easy for you either. Keep encouraging your boy and training him along the paths of righteousness. These mean kids are most likely a tool God is using to "prune" away the things that don't need to be there...but that's hard on kids and their Mama bears. :)Tara Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650391210454775068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-69659425843579171962011-10-26T23:45:11.216-05:002011-10-26T23:45:11.216-05:00Oh Angie ~ I think I am your twin at heart... (don...Oh Angie ~ I think I am your twin at heart... (don't I WISH!!) But we both have that sappy, emotional heart, and just reading this, I am in tears, too. I'm so proud of the way you handled that and how you took that moment to search your heart for wisdom and the right words to see your son through that moment the way that Jesus would want you to. You are SO right... we have to parent "intentionally" and not let the busyness of life allow us to float right on over that 'intentional' part that is such a key to raising and training up our children in the way they should go, so that when they grow old, they will not depart from it! <br /><br />I will most certainly pray for Gabe's heart, and for conviction upon the boys' hearts who said those mean words. Mean hurts, and it can stick. So I also pray there are others that recognize this and take a stand for Gabe in a mature manner, not a thrash-back-at-ya manner, just enough to let them know it's simply NOT COOL to be mean!<br /><br />I love your Gabe, and I have yet to meet him in person, but I just want to jump through this screen and give him a big hug for being KIND in a world where {you are SO correct!} seems to be losing this good trait. <br /><br />OXO,<br />TanyaTanyaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273839306382041488noreply@blogger.com
