Repeated Incident But Different Response

Today, Jeshua wanted a small packet of Milo. Knowing that he might spill if I were to give him a full packet, I drank half of it before passing to him. Nonetheless, he squeezed from the centre of the packet and it overflowed to the floor, his jumper and his hand.

Remembering the incident that happened yesterday, I immediately decided to take a different response.

I looked at him and went, "Don't worry, Jeshua. Papa will clear up. Let's go and change and wash up first." He didn't cry this time.

A messed place is much better than a 'messed' heart.
