Jack's prayers before meals the last two days:
Saturday Night:
Dear God, please help me have a better attitude and Theo too. Amen. [Ed Note: We had been talking and disciplining Jack all day about his attitude, but Theo's was absolutely fine.]
Sunday Breakfast:
Dear God, please help Theo have self-control. Amen. [Ed Note: Theo was a little impatient while waiting for his cereal before our prayer.]
Clearly, Jack has no problem reflecting on Theo's issues - even self-imposing his own issues onto his little brother. It is rather laughable, but then I started to think how easy it is for me (or even all of us????) to do this.
[Ed Note: Dear God, please help me recognize my own sin and not dwell on others. Amen.]

Yes, it's always easier to get the speck out of someone else's eye.
Happy Birthday JACK!
Love,
Grandma
Maybe Jack is thinking that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. He wants to prevent the problem before it has a chance to happen.
