House Rules

Welcome! This blog is my personal virtual space where I intend to share what is important to me. I welcome comments that are intended to increase understanding--that are constructive, kind, and respectful. I will not post a comment that is stone-throwing in nature, nor will I finish reading a comment that appears to be such. I honestly don't have time or energy in my life for any conversation that doesn't build me--or others--up (something I've been working to convince my over-active mind.) I will read and respond to comments or questions as my time and feelings permit.

If I choose not to post your comment, it does not mean I bear you ill will. If I do not respond to your comment, it does not mean that I have not carefully considered it, nor does it mean that I have no response. My priorities are God, my husband, and my children. I believe that we are all God's children, and therefore brothers and sisters. I look forward to getting to know you and rubbing shoulders with you here in my virtual sitting room.

Epiphany

Sitting in church one Sunday, feeling the wonderful spirit in our meetings, a thought occurred to me (more than once. I think Heavenly Father wanted to make sure I got it.)
W loves me. He notices when I show love to him, and shows his appreciation to me in the tenderest ways. He forgives me easily. These are some of his strengths.
Since Jesus Christ counseled us to "become as a little child", and He himself is our exemplar, then He must be like a child. He must be like W. He must love me as W does.
W was sent to me to show me how much I am loved by the Lord, every single day of my life.

I have been doing a lot of stressing about things pertaining to W's education--things that need to be done, that I should be doing, that I'm not doing, that I don't know how to do yet. So, another thought:
Is whatever I can teach W more important than what I need to learn from him?
No.

Takes a lot of the stress off,
and brings a lot more love in.
