"If I Were in Texas, I would..."
be interacting with my grandson. He is so unique and has a personality all of his own. He is not only cute on the outside but his personality enhances his overall being. I have been concerned about the fact that he is afraid of a great deal of things. I can picture myself sitting and talking with him, having the right eye contact, and coming to him on his level in a way that will let him know that I am trying to get inside of his thoughts just to find out what makes him afraid of things. Some how, with much prayer, I would really like to have a long grandma/grandson talk about those things and to prayerfully let him know that he need not be afraid.
Since he is afraid to go to a movie because it is dark inside, it is my desire to talk with him in a way that would help him there is nothing to be afraid of, and hoping that he would trust me enough to believe me when I try to convince him to not be afraid. Because he attends a church school and is receptive to his teachings about the Lord I would use the approach that Jesus will keep him safe. Not that his parents haven’t already told him, but it might just be a reinforcement coming from someone else as well as mommy and daddy. I guess I don't have to tell you how I feel about "K."

He is now too scared to sleep in his bedroom because I slept in there when I was sick. He's afraid I left my germs on his bed, so he's been sleeping on the floor, in a sleeping bag.
Oh no...maybe if you wash the sheets and let him see you do it, it will help him understand that things are just fine.
Poor little guy. I know children gets scared. I'm afraid of the dark too, but for much different reasons.
*HUGS* I'll pray for each of you, I know that things can be frightening for children and I hope Kirby understands that God won't let anything bad happen to him.
