Jorja Grace - my oldest (4yrs) asked me yesterday... " Mommy, are you mean?". Trying to hide my giggle, I asked her "Well honey, what do you think?" She replied, "I think your just having a rough time."
So apparently I have been less than loving and patient with my children in my very tired state of being. And it's also very apparent, I have truly been mean. But with all her four years of wisdom, my daughter found it better to be encouraging and understanding than throw the reality of my transgression in my face. That in and of itself is encouraging to me, and enough motivation to try and do better.
I am so thankful that the Lord will use my children's small voices to get my attention, and remind me of the little eyes that watch my every move and are at the mercy of my every mood. So pray for me friends, to change from "Mean Mommy" into the one He has called me to be!
peace & blessings

How great for a 4 year-old to show such empathy! That is something she has learned!
So very true. They are sweet little voices that bring those things to our attention. So glad to find your blog through the Voth's!
