On Jealousy.

Jealousy, Yesterday morning I had a thought first thing that I longed for a teaching moment about this with my kids...

On the way out of the parking lot at the Hospital yesterday Little Dove spoke up....
"I kinda feel like I don't like Dash having surgery"...
"how come" say I
"Well" she said, "he'll get all the toys and gifts and stuff and I wont get anything"
To this Dash reply s " I don't care about all that.. I just want to know I"ll be alright"
TEACHING MOMENT!
I say "You know that feeling you feel... That is called jealousy, Its like what you (Dash) felt after the b-day party... Well, that feeling is sorta like fear in that you just gotta push it away...You know how I tell you not to let fear push you around but you gotta push it right back well. Jealousy is like that. I continued that feeling "what about me..." well it can cause a lot of consequences for folks bad ones"
To this dash adds..."oh like fights and arguments?"...
"Yes I add and WARS!"
Dove adds "Ya I don't like it"
Say I " there will always be enough, look Dove at all the gifts you just received"
Dash add "ya I got to play with them too, cause Dove shared"
"Yep" I smile.
Dash " I just want to know I'm gonna be alright"
Say I " thats what really matters".
"thats true" Dove adds

Have a grate day! off to the Dentist with the Dash and Dove, I desire your prayerful support! Donetta
