Today started out very relaxed, but as we had committed to attending fellowship in the afternoon, the time slipped away very quickly. Just as we were scrambling to get everyone's socks and shoes and coats on, one of our children decided to "paint her nails". Daddy's not big on the whole shiny nails thing for his children under 10, especially not on sabbath, especially without adult supervision and especially not in dad and mom's room over carpet.
SPLASH
Just as we were about to leave, we were already late, we heard one of our little ones say "I'm so very very sorry" Ut oh. We walked into our bedroom and found the entire contents of nail polish on the floor in the carpet.
Oh boy.
It was a lesson in patience as we got the situation cleaned up. We were about a half-hour late to the gathering, but it wasn't too bad. Daddy and mommy both had to have a moment to breath and calm ourselves so we may have Sabbath peace, or anyday peace!
Daddy did not throw away the nail polish, but he put them away for a while. Next time, nail painting will not be over carpet and will be with adult supervision.
No last minute surprises!

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations. Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
