A Classic Follow-up Conversation (from Grandma Shari)

Today Rebecca was trying to get Joshua to tell me he was sorry for throwing a game on the floor. He didn't want to. I tried to coax him a little bit and he told me "I'm just very sad."

I said, "It's no fun to be sad. If you learn to say you're sorry, you'll be happy."

Joshua said, "I don't want to be happy and I don't want to say sorry. I'm just very sad to talk to you."

I said, "Well, you know that Mommy probably isn't going to let me give you any jelly beans if you won't say you're sorry."

And Joshua said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Grandma Shari."

I do pray for you all, and I do not utter these words lightly. What an impressive will dear Joshua has... God be with you as you all submit yours to Him.
