I know that sinking feeling that comes after words escape the lips and hang there in the ears. "Did I really just say that?!"<br/><br/>Frustration is normal; it's the tongue we need to reign in! Even when nobody is around.<br/><br/>Thank you for sharing this beautiful letter to your son.

Frustration is normal; it’s the tongue we need to reign in! Even when nobody is around.

My kids are older - 4, 6 and 7. And I STILL say things I don't mean like you did in your frustration. All we can do is be quick to repent and tell them how we truly feel about them and ask Christ to love them better through us. Thanks for this post.<br/>Tasha Even though I’m a mom and not a dad, I am adopting this letter as my own. My kids are older – 4, 6 and 7.

There was healing from your words, for me, in my imagining them coming from my own Dad. They fit, even today. Thank you. <br/><br/>ANd for what it is worth, I am praying for you all and watching so closely how things unfold. Although we may be miles apart, it feels like we are in this together.
