- a blessing

That is wonderful when thye are in obedience. Children can also be prodigal, rebellious, and have hidden wickedness in their hearts that will shock you to no end. That is sad. Free will, must be...but oh the pain it brings when that will is turned in stubborn rebellion against God.
Pss.51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
