Humor
Daniel (my son) and I were discussing Ephesians 6:1-3 one day. He's a rather intelligent teenager, as far as being a teenager goes anyway. And he's extremely compassionate as far as boys go. In fact, I'd venture to say that Daniel is an exceptional young man as far as being a person in general goes... set apart, so to speak. But greater than any of those attributes, I am the proud parent of a boy who knows the fear of the Lord.
However, (Bet you didn't see that one coming.) he's also typical. He likes to aggravate and tease his mother. An hour or so after we had our little discussion about that scripture, I was standing in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, if I recall correctly, when Daniel snuck around the corner and gave me a little punch in the arm. He then turned to run out of the room. But he was suddenly stopped when, upon quickly turning around, he struck his funny bone on the wooden doorframe.
While he was still moaning, I reminded him of the scripture we'd been studying. "Oh, no! Mom, I am so sorry. Please forgive me!"
I had to laugh at the look of fear on his face. "Son, it isn't me you need to ask for forgiveness."
What a way to see your kid run to his prayer closet. That was "the fear of God" in action!
