For example, he likes to bang on our blinds in the living room. No big deal, until he starts pulling on them. The first time he does it, I tell him "No, no." Then he'll keep doing it, while giving me that look, just to see what I'm going to do. I know all kids do this, and I don't lose my cool (it's actually kinda cute sometimes). I'm learning to handle it gracefully. I realized this morning that I do that to God sometimes too, and He has been nothing but patient and graceful with me. Thanks for the lesson in parenting, Lord!
