Talk about answered prayers...

after putting a very upset 8 year old to bed crying on Tuesday night, prayers were certainly answered on Wednesday.  Not only did the child from across the street apologize to Aidan he also apologized to the boy Aidan was defending.  They all walked home from school yesterday with arms over each others shoulders.  I was trying to find out details from Aidan..."did you talk to M and let him know how what he has been doing was hurting you?"  No Mom he just came and apologized on his own.  Which does lead me to wonder if his Mom finally noticed what was happening and said something to M.  I have noticed that she is much slower to respond to a behavioral situation than I would be.  If I see Aidan or Ainsley treating someone badly, I immediately correct the behavior.  Maybe I am too harsh, but I am quick to remind them not to treat others in a way they would not want to be treated.  Aidan and I also had the chance to talk later about how God had answered his prayers.  What a learning moment!  I hope he understands the idea of a personal relationship with Christ long before I did!

Also, sorry Miss J, and I will call you later, but we sold our house!  Next week B will be in Cleveland to put an offer in on something.  We are hoping to be moved by Thanksgiving but we shall see what happens.  Life is still a bit up in the air for the moment, but we are headed to Cleveland before the end of the year.  God is good and does answer prayers.  A lesson my Aidan learned quite well yesterday I think.
