For the past two days my kids have had so much contention between each other and I would say it's more than just fighting amongst siblings. I really don't know what's going on or what I should do. All I know is it's really is messing with my sleep. I get off work at 7:30 in the morning and get home with hopes of sleeping for at least 5 hours or a little more if I can, because I have to go back to work that night again. Well, for the past two days I have had my kids come to my room every hour if not twice within an hour, because of fights crying or hurt feelings. I have had zero sleep and have woke up feeling like the worst mother not knowing how to help them get along. They are now grounded for the week in hopes that they will be able to find peace among each other and realize that contention is really of the devil. We have a loving Heavenly Father that would never want to see siblings hurt and fight with each other, call names and belittle one another. It's just not right and not what I have taught them. Respect is what I feel has been lacking in the Causey house this week. Our Loving Heavenly Father has shown us through example to treat each other as we would want to be treated and I know that's not what's up in my house right now. So the question is why? Why do they each feel like how they are treating each other is ok? Some how they are justifying their actions as being ok or they wouldn't do it. The weird thing is when I get up, it all stops and the house is quiet. Is it me? Does it make them unhappy that I sleep during the day? Is it my attention they want and need? I have been really thinking about this so much, because it hurts me to watch Satan inch his way into my home, which is our temple. So how do I get it to stop?
I don't know how to get them to stop, but I can teach them by example. My kids have grown up in a house where this saying LOVE ONE ANOTHER has been taught their whole life. It's no different today as it was yesterday how important this saying is. Jesus Christ showed by example everyday of his life to love one another. He even gave his life on the cross because he loved us so much. I know the love my kids have for each other. I have seen them show it many times. I have chosen to work at night while they are sleeping and sacrifice my sleep so I can be home with them during the day. I may be sleeping, but I am home. I love my kids with all my heart and I would do anything for them. I will work day and night to get them to understand how important it is to Love One Another and to Respect each other. I know it's a trial that we each have to go through. Satan is real. He knows each one of our weakness and he will get you when he can. My job as the mother is to not let Satan get in between my kids or into my temple (my home). Not an easy job being a mother, but really I wouldn't have it any other way! Watch out Satan this mama is going to take you out!!!!!
