Right now I have 2 kids who are very upset. One is in the midst of a melt down and the other is upset because the first child stressed everyone in the house out.
Adam is being Adam. A typical Aspie.... lovable, caring but easily stressed......
So anyhow, tonight Adam blew up. What a blessed heart he has. What a wonderful husband I have that tries to difuse problems before my hot head and Adam's big mouth makes everything worse. But, my mouth and Adam's mouth gets us into trouble anyway.
Adam's stress started all because he is so worried over what has been going on with the school. He is nervous and worried that we are getting stressed out. So, now we are left with a child who is on edge but wanting so much not to be.
Believe it or not, this event today warms my heart. The yelling and crying and all the chaos led to an understanding. Everything that happened tonight happened out of love. We love each other and want to support each other in our marriage. We both love Adam more then we could have expected to. Adam loves us and cares about our feelings. Love... it makes us do strange things.
God's love made him do an unbelievable act. He gave his ONLY begotten Son, all because he loves us. He loves you!
When God designed and created the world, he did so because he desired to share his abilities and love with someone. He never forces us to love him back. He never forces us to be part of his life. He just waits on the side lines and waits for us to notice him. His love for us drives him NOT to command our love and demand our obedience. His love is so strong that he is willing to let us go rather then make us do things against our will.
God's relationship with us is an example of how we should be with our kids. God's love is forgiving and encompassing all our faults. Our children have lots of faults and we need to forgive them for their mistakes. It all boils down to our kids are a God given gift. No matter what we say or do with God he loves us beyond our comprehension....
So to wrap this up and get back to my wonderful sons.... they both are calm and in bed. I am calming down and Mike is chatting with a friend. Adam had his meltdown because he loves us so much he is worried about us. I got angry because I love my husband and wish him to be treated with respect. Mike loves both Adam and I and hates to see us stressed and fighting... After everyone calms down we always talk about the situation. Even though our stress was born out of love it was in the end our love that got us to stop fighting.
Love your family to no end. Love God even more, because he certainly loves you more then you can ever imagine. Spend time with your kids laughing and sharing... spend time with God and let him know how much you love him today... :)
