Timothy couldn't have even understood what was happening to him, nor way. Especially why his mother would treat him like that. May the Lord Jesus Christ keep, protect and embrace you Timothy.

    She punished him for keeping them awake “so he could see how it feels,” even though according to her:
    1) Timothy staying up during the night was the problem, so keeping him awake wouldn’t be punishment
    2) she didn’t mind staying awake to keep him awake because she doesn’t sleep much, anyway
    3) “Paul is an insomniac”
    They were keeping him awake for keeping them awake, even though they are all awake a night…
