Comfort vs. Punishment - Didn't know that were THAT similar!!

A couple weeks ago, Addison was given the assignment to memorize the 23rd Psalm. It's due tomorrow.  In case you wondered....that's a bit lengthy, but she is doing quite well with it....or so I thought.  

Since it's due in the morning, I have been practicing it throughout the evening with her.  She's done great, and all of a sudden decided she wanted to recite it without my help at all.  I agreed to let her have at it!  I was so glad I did because it ended up being an unforgettable event!

With all the strength she could muster up, she took a deep breath and started her recitation with great confidence.  "The Lord is my Shepherd.....He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness......Yeah tho I walk through the valley......(here's where it gets good)....I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they PUNISH ME!" 

Have you ever felt punished by the rod vs. being comforted?  Just wondering if Mom and Aunt Lin were the only ones that felt that way!!  Just sayin.......  :-)  

Just couldn't resist telling about it!
