We had a white refrigerator with several decorative magnets stuck to the surface. One evening as I was getting ready to fix supper I noticed black marks all over the refrigerator. Upon closer examination, I realized the marks were from the magnets being “driven” around in circles. I was sure that one of the children had done this mischief, so I called them into the kitchen and asked them who made the marks on the refrigerator.
Naturally, they both said they didn’t do it. I was expecting that response and had a plan in place. I told them OK I believed them but I knew somebody had made the marks and that person needed to be punished. Since they didn’t know who had made the marks and I didn’t know who had made the marks, I told them I knew somebody who would have the answer.
Both children and myself went into the living room and I had them kneel down at the couch so we could ask God who made the marks. I let the children know that God knows everything and he doesn’t like lying. As we were kneeling together, I prayed and asked God to please tell me who had marked on the fridge so I would not punish the wrong person.
At this point, my small 3 year old son spoke out, “Momma, please don’t spank me.”
Truly, God knows all things. 🙂
I'd like to say I was somebody special; however, I'm just a regular person with a regular life. I have all the same hopes, fears, and dreams as other people.
