Dare To Do Right

During breakfast on Saturday morning:

Peter: Mom, what does God want me to do?

Me: (Trying to think of what would be the most important thing for him to do, leaning towards obey mom and dad) Well-

Peter: Is it to be righteous?

Me: Yes, He wants you to be righteous.

Peter: I try, but it's hard. My head tells me to be righteous, but my tummy tells me to not be righteous.

What I actually told him: Well, you need to get your head and your heart to tell your tummy to be righteous.

What I wish I had told him: You know, sometimes being righteous is hard. But it's still important. Sometimes the things that are most important for us to do are the hardest.

I'm learning so much from him.
