Millstone
Did a terrible thing last night. Had gone to bed a little after nine, and read until 10 PM (Stephen King book, The Running Man). The grandkids came home with their parent about that time. Shortly afterward, they were knocking on my bedroom door (over and over and over). I was tired, angry, upset and other feelings all brought on by my own selfishness earlier. I barked "Stop That", and the knocking ceased.
Today, my wife told me she sent them upstairs to say goodnight to "OPA" (me). They came back downstairs crying, saying "OPA doesn't want them to say goodnight."
So, where do I go from here? The Bible says that anyone who cause 'one of the little ones' to sin would suffer worse than having a millstone tied around his neck (and supposedly drowned in a pool of water). I love those kids, but I get SO ANGRY at their parents. Guess I'll go pray this noon and work this out with God.
