Breaking News!!
On Friday, Aaron came home from School, complaining of a sore arm, Anna and I ignored him. I went sailing.
Saturday Aaron intermittently complained of a sore arm. After Church (and we all went to both services). Anna took him to hospital,
he came home like this.
Now what does this say about our parenting skills?

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren
about life. He said to them, “A battle is
raging inside me…it is a terrible fight
between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow,
regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority and ego. The other stands for
joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and
faith.”
The old man fixed the children with a firm
stare.
“This same fight is going on inside you, and
inside every other person, too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one
child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf
will win?”
The old Cherokee replied: “The one you feed.”

HUMOR:? “You can find evil anywhere you look. The question is, why are you looking?”
Have a great week.
