Tantrum

 
He is my Joy....
 
 
...most days

 
Everyone knows tantrums are normal.....

 
...but tantrums of children with so much hurt and anger inside

 
are a whole other 'type' of tantrum

 
Raging, ear piercing shrill screams, roaring

 
when they feel out of control and powerless

 
We've got the scars on our arms, legs and face to testify

 
....but today we celebrate that they are shorter...and less violent

 
... still shockingly loud, and still draw confused glares from uninformed strangers....

 
But we have HOPE because we've witnessed one dramatically healed child ~ who used to rage without self control

 
We can wait and we can pray...

 
Because we are FAMILY and we're not going anywhere....
