I was thinking the other day about how my children seem to act as magnifying glasses to me in respect to the condition of my heart. When I find myself exasperated at the same questions repeated over and over, when I find myself raising my voice a little louder than intended, when I become discouraged in my ability as a mom, I stop, say a little prayer for help and try to change my attitude. How much patience, wisdom, and direction I still need in my life!
Parenting brings out the best and worst in me sometimes. I just hope the best is displayed more often, and my children will grow up feeling well loved, appreciated and cared for. I desire to have a good relationship with my boys as they mature into adults and parents of their own.
But, boy, do I have a lot of work to do on myself!
