Halarity in Devotions

Our family devotions are every morning at breakfast. Today we ate eggs and toast, a banana, and orange julius. Following the food we read, we are in Proverbs 17. Verse 21 says, "...there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool." All parents need to read this verse to their kids (even if they are adults) and talk about what it means. We did today.

I asked, what does it mean that parents of foolish people have no joy?
Gabe said, "It means that the parents feel bad."
I said, "Give me more, explain HOW do they feel bad?"
Elizabeth said, "REAL bad!"

We laughed for a long time on that one. At least my first grade daughter was listening.
