Humbled

After one afternoon of tight restriction

Buster Brown humbled himself and apologized!

He actually looked me in the eye

with those clear blue eyeballs of his 

and connected.

This morning he cheerfully said good morning and  reached out to me.

It's nice to see the boy back.

He is still on restriction for a week.

We could be in for some hard times,

but probably no harder than it has been.

Praying for the right spirit to deal with it.

PS... but while I was typing this, he was disobeying orders to get up and make his bed.
LOL.
So, take everything with a grain of salt,
or as manipulation,
or as fleeting resolves such as ropes of sand,
because he cannot obey and be truly humble for long
without a GREATER MOTIVATING FACTOR in his heart.
Okay, so I'm off to see if I can persuade him to give Christ a try.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.

Ps 34:8

oh, and one more thing; someone asked if the little guy was grieving or sad, or angry or looking for control.
It appears to be none of the above.
He is lazy.
So long as he can sit and do nothing,
or play as he pleases,
he's happy as a lark.
He doesn't want to be bothered.
PERIOD.
Once the upset has started then the control issues come into play.
