Another lesson I reminded my boys of the other day I call the law of the spider web. God gave me that thought a long while back and I was reminded of it recently. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A few times when my boys would build intricate lego sets, my younger children would enjoy playing the role of controlled demolition.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This would greatly upset my boys, which is reasonable. But it got me thinking this would be a good life lesson.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When a spider builds a web all day, and someone takes a stick and destroys it, or a big bug gets trapped and puts a gaping hole in it, I don’t think the spider hides in the window corner and sulks and gets bent out of shape. It goes back and rebuilds.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Every day “someone is going to knock down our web” in life. Bad news, misunderstandings, mean words, whatever. Just pick up a new truth that goes against the conformity of today and see how quickly your new web gets attacked.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But what are you going to do about it?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And we can decide how to respond before we even begin building that web.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And maybe even it’s the third time today.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
