“His divinity parted not from His humanity for a single moment nor a twinkling of an eye…”  
Excerpt from the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil

Temper tantrums – a parent’s worst nightmare.  If you have children, temper tantrums are unfortunately an inevitable part of life.  You don’t have to teach a child how to throw a temper tantrum; there is something instinctual within them that tells them what to do when they don’t get what they want.

Cry…kick…scream…yell…roll around on the floor…call as much attention as you can to yourself and your extremely embarrassed dad who just wants to know where the cereal aisle is so he can get his Lucky Charms and get back home as quickly as he can.

Temper tantrums are something that all children know how to do.

But you know what?  It’s not just children; we adults do the same thing.  We may not be so obvious about it, but if we’re honest, we often find ourselves throwing temper tantrums with our heavenly Father when He doesn’t give us what we want or when He asks us to do something that we don’t want to do.
