I must be dumb

How is it that my own child would steal from me. What gets into the minds of these kids? I tell you the sin nature does. Lord how much more should we suffer here in this sinful world. My son today stool $1.25 from me and then lied about five different places he found it. Now I must be a fool because when I seen the quarters there could have only been one place he could of took it from. My laundry money I keep in a plastic tub. Now I have to hide my money from my own kids in my own house. I asked him what were you going to do with the money and he replies buy something from the store. I asked him why did you need to steal from me if you would of just ask me I would of gave it to you. This hurts because how can I trust this boy if he doesn't stop with all of the lies I'm starting to believe there is no hope and that takes a lot for me to feel that way. I'm getting tired. Lord please give grace.

Change

This morning was different then all of the other mornings, the way he looks at me is still changing. This time the glare of love he once had in his eyes was now officially gone. For the past week the change was coming and now it is here. We have shared words with each other have no real meaning to them. It is like we talk to the air because no one wants to admit that the other person is there. I think I have now become his worst enemy and it is like he is ready to attack. The bad thing about it all is that I don't care. I like that he can care less about what I am doing. That is what scares me because I think that I should care. I wonder if this to should pass are is this some sign that we just don't love like before. This could be a chapter in a book or even a season that shall pass, but the answer to that lies in the near future.
