Fights And Carols

"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your

desires that battle within you?"

James 4:1

A few weeks ago, Calvin asked if he could bring one of his Lightning McQueen cars to Sunday School. "No," I said, "because it causes fights and quarrels among your friends." I learned today that he was actually listening to my response...

Today at lunch, Calvin started a tug-of-war with Teddy over a sippy cup of milk. Calvin won the battle and tossed the cup aside and out of Teddy's reach. He then exclaimed, "Mommy! We're playing fights and carols!"

I tried for a moment to hold back a smile, then gave in and erupted in giggles.
