Overheard in our kitchen last night:
Big J (5 years old) reciting a memory verse to Daddy:
"Be kind one to another. Ephesians 4:32"
Daddy: "Very Good. I am so proud of you!"
10 seconds later - I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING!
Little L is sitting on a kitchen chair. Big J wants to sit on the same kitchen chair, but doesn't want to share (it's not like we only have 1 kitchen chair!). "Get off! I want to sit here!!!" He shoves his little brother completely off the chair!! Little L (1.5 years old) cries his heart out.
Is this the kid who just recited the kindness memory verse from the Bible???
OK, well at least we're trying to learn Bible verses . . . . the meaning temporarily (conveniently?) escaped our son and that evil sinful nature took over.

Awww...poor Little L! We see that a lot with our kiddos too but if I am being completely honest with myself, I will admit that my heart suffers from that same convenient/selective memory. Although I would never push them off a chair, I am very guilty of that with my husband and children and even in my thoughts where others are concerned. It's usually much easier to overlook when I am the guilty one. Is that a plank I see in my eye? :(
ROTFL....yep at least he is learning the verse and in time will put it into action. That is what us moms keep praying for.
