It is so awful to realize we have the ability to wound our children's tiny, tender hearts, and as you said, they are then learning these hurtful things from us.<br /><br />I love the mantra, and shall use it often.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597236611361007850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-85725642462303250242011-12-03T12:46:52.027-05:002011-12-03T12:46:52.027-05:00This is such a wonderful reminder; not just for me...This is such a wonderful reminder; not just for messy children but for other people as well...perhaps a husband who leaves messes and forgets; instead of getting mad at him for always forgetting, I could instead use that time for loving him and building him up. :)<br />Thanks.HanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061022733960395595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-4291108166613114182011-12-01T17:38:24.238-05:002011-12-01T17:38:24.238-05:00A wonderful, thoughtful post and one about which w...A wonderful, thoughtful post and one about which we all need reminding on a regular basis.

I think I need to chant your mantra, write it on the chalkboard and keep in on paper in my pocket...maybe write it with sharpie on my arm too.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655442007668000861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-20866785962121082672011-12-01T10:53:18.584-05:002011-12-01T10:53:18.584-05:00You cannot know how timely this was!

Pop into your blog for a little momma inspiration and then I hear, "mom! It's all over her!". I had not even finished reading your post when I found my two year old covered in white out!!!! My six year old got bored with the markers and crayons set out and dug though my office supplies... Oh my... Well, my two year old is still covered in white out as it won't come off for a while but having read your post, I was reminded before my temper flared at my six year old for getting things out they are not allowed to touch, that people go before things. I loved reading your post. Even read it to my children. It helped me during a critical moment that might have set the tone for the day. I too though, many times have blow it in my humanness. Begging for grace and forgiveness from my little ones. So, we carry on. Seeking grace in every step we take.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700522359587297659noreply@blogger.com
