I was having lunch at the office with my darling wife and sweet sons.
My eldest son works in the office while the younger one is part-time as he’s still a student.
My wife manages the business all round in addition to managing the largest teams.
In our office, with more than 130 members, people bring their children. This young, smart boy has a higher attendance than many full-time employees.

My boys were saying that they occasionally scold Ryan. He sulks for two minutes. But after two minutes, it’s like a reset and he’s back to being as joyful as ever.

When I heard this remark, I heard a whisper. This is what I want many to learn.
Learning to take corrections well.
Not being offended.
Taking instructions,
Taking corrections,
When you understand it or not, with the right attitude.
Not being offended is a choice.
You can not offend a child.
Always loving.
Open to rebuke.

Here are a few verses on rebuke and offence.
These are good to make your own, as you learn to like a child.

Do keep thinking on these verses. Ask Jesus.
Ask the Holy Spirit. He will make you like a child.
You will handle rebukes better.
None will be able to offend you.
Yes, you will be like a glorious child.
Jesus Christ will be well pleased with you.
With the precious child-like qualities you have.
