This summer, I am around a lot of kids from all different ages and backgrounds. Awhile back, there was a young boy who was running around and not listening to me at all. It takes a lot for me to get frustrated. But, I was on the verge of being frustrated with him. Then I found out he had medical issues that caused his behavior problems. Understanding that, I am now able to deal with him in a way that eliminates any issues.
But, this isn't about me. It's about so many of the other kids who don't now what I know. They have been amazing with this boy! One in particular has taken him under her wing and it's so awesome to watch the two of them. Yesterday, I mentioned something to her mom and just talking to her about her daughter got me choked up!
I've found another boy needs a lot of attention and positive reinforcement has done wonders for him. The awesome thing I've watched is the little boy who has found a great friend in him and he seeks him out so he can give him a hug.
The bonds that are forming between the younger ones and the older ones is a great thing to watch. It helps both ages become better people- the younger by having positive role models and the older by having a reason to be a better person knowing someone is looking up to them.
So where was God today? He's there guiding these bonds, putting people in the right paths.
Blessings,
Jennifer
