The days you consider horrible now will NOT be the days they remember as they grow up. This I am sure of from reading your blog for several years. <br /><br />Just as we mamas forget the physical (and emotional) pain of bringing our children to us, so too do they forget those days when we just didn't get it right. They remember our heartfelt efforts. And for that I am so thankful. <br /><br /> HWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260566913424446132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-66254434500245535832012-11-14T13:00:23.551-05:002012-11-14T13:00:23.551-05:00This is me.

Both the hurrying part (dress quicker! eat quicker! brush/floss/bathe quicker!), as well as the conviction that God places on my heart anytime I lose my cool with my kiddos. And, as a friend recently reminded & encouraged me, when our children see us flustered and then hear our apologies, they learn about real life, and forgiveness, and grace. I'm so thankful for the forgiveness that God, and my kids, so readily give.

Unfortunately, she comes from a family that is very adept in the art of hurrying. The story of your morning could be the story of my every morning--minus the oversleeping bit. I have a tendency to just lose it with her when she doesn't do her morning routine (get dressed, eat breakfast, brush hair, brush teeth) with efficiency. But then I remember she's 5. And then I think, "But she needs to be more responsible!! She's going to make her sister late!" And so the internal argument goes.... Trying to remember that God gifted her in many ways-- she is gentle and compassionate, more concerned about people than the clock. More concerned about soothing her fussy baby sister than putting her shoes on for school. :) She may not be 'efficient' and 'responsible' the way her older sister is, but she is precious in His sight and I need to extend her grace. And maybe wake her up a little earlier. ;)<br />Thanks for allowing my heart to ponder.Bill and Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910061658479603176noreply@blogger.com
