Particularly my husband’s and my kids’.
Especially the kids, who are shorter, and not quite as wise and are still learning and soaking things in every day in some way.
I have to try to remember that they do not “know” everything I expect or want them to know, yet. And frankly they may never, because they are their own people.
But I also have to remember that I am one of their most important guides and teachers in this life. I am their example and they are watching me and listening to me (more than I think, I am guessing) every day of every week.
I want them to see someone who is kind and loving and trying their hardest to be full of grace.
Lately, I have not been that way as much as I should.
But I see it. And I know it and I am ready to try even harder to get there.
God has given me this beautiful family and I intend to cherish it.
As much as I possibly can…
