...{to have a desire for (as something unattainable)} Like children, we sometimes revert back to child-like desires...e.g. meeting a knight in shining armor, security, free of pain and suffering. But perhaps tough times are dealt to us so that we appreciate the many blessing we already have? And many times, we are made to suffer in order to learn a tough-love lesson. In my classroom, I give my students many tough-love lessons...they don't always know it's good for them {and I always remind them that I love them more than they know} Sometimes I will put a child in the corner if they are consistently misbehaving in my classroom...most of the time they come back with a renewed look on their face.
