100 things I like about you for your child
Yesterday while thinking of all the things that leave me concerned about my daughter/son it dawned on me that my focus had become rather negative.
So early Friday morning began in prayer for the kids. At #24 for Dove the school morning was to be managed and the list set aside.
It was however a wonderful beginning of an exercise in Love. What matters most is how we see our self. So it is new eyes that the kids need to look into the reflection of who they are. I must be a mirror for them.
This on going list will keep me in the mind of knowing who they are so that raising them in the direction of who they might become, talents, interest and skill sets. It made a wonderful difference in the morning. The way I saw my daughter was so much more fond. She is a teenager right now. Some mornings reminding yourself that she is not her hormones or irritability is a must. It is so hard for her. Teenagers have such a hard time with all of the developmental phases they have to go through. Sure miss her.
It is my hope to copy the list and give it to her.
Then to make one for Dash.
Perhaps one for my husband too.

Awwww, yes in deed these are some rough years for all, but with the LOVE & patients you have it will be all good...I use to sit in the mornings when I was off with coffee sitting on the end table and instead of holding my cup of coffee I would fold my hands together and pray for understanding, never for patients...hahahaha, cause I knew I would be tested on those and I dont like to be tested on anything, so I figured if I could understand them better, it would be better on all of us. Your babes are darn lucky to have such parents with GODS grace & love, and your babes will and are going to wonderful, kind hearted, and so full of love, and this world is going to be a better place because of them, because you & your hubby have taught them the right way of life......
LOVE TO ALL
