Resolved
to respond with compassion to my children
no matter how small the problem seems,
no matter how inconvenient,
and no matter how untimely.
no matter how small the problem seems,
no matter how inconvenient,
and no matter how untimely.
"As a Father shows compassion to his children,
so The Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him."
Psalm 103:13
What a GREAT resolution and reminder! I also try to do this with my children. It's not easy, but the fruits will be worth the effort in the end. I heard someone say one time that if you don't pay attention and show interest in the little "not-so-important" things when they're small they won't come to you with the big things when they are older. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is EXACTLY why I wrote this resolution! Because how I respond & listen now has impact on how they will seek my help & comfort when they are older. Thank you!
DeleteStopping by from Gracelaced - wow - I needed to read this. I am guilty of losing my cool all too often. Thank you for a great post. Blessings from Croatia. Rosilind from A Little R & R: www.littlerandr.org
