At church Wendy and I are taking a class on raising children. The study is based on boundaries for children. The authors say that children need boundaries to grow into responsible adults, but at first they will not like those boundaries. It is interesting so far, but with Joy being so young it seem hard to apply.
The last lesson was on tantrums and envy. As I was reading thru the chapters, my first thought was I am worse than children. I still have tantrums today when I do not get my way. My tantrums involve sulking and beating myself up. I probably am envious of others...what they have and what they can do. I know these things only lead me to feeling more depressed with my life.
On the bright side, it is never too late to change. That frown upside down. Plus, I have a great wife and daughter. So I do have those things going for me. Other than that what more could I need? Of course they are a few things I want...
