Teachable Moments
Teachable moments for my kids are not something I have thought about praying for until the past couple of months. However, today was one of those moments. Being hurt by someone does not feel good. We've all been there, but sometimes... the best response is no response!
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. Proverbs 29:11

Thank you Lord for friends who can text msg. you a scripture in a blink of an eye!
It makes me tearful when my daughter is relaying what this scripture means to her and then making me memorize it, who's the mom here anyway? Not only the words, but the address as well. So often I think my kids are going to be lucky if they make it to adulthood with out bumps and bruises on their character and our relationships. But, in times like today, when I can look in their innocent eyes and fill their spongy brain with the TRUTH of God, it makes me think that I can make it! My mothering capabilities may not be that of Claire Huxtable or June Cleaver, but they are Mine! And that's good enough!
I can do all things through Christ. Philippians 4:13

Amen Sister! I love this scripture, and I have even written it on my index cards to pray for my entire family. You are a wonderful mama Dona! I don't think we have to be Claire Huxtable or June Cleaver- we just have to partner with the Heavenly Father to raise these kiddos. Blessings- L
you are a wonderful mom and you've got great kids that are lucky to have you! I'll praise God for the teachable moment and for the character you are building through it. Love you, girl!
I know you aren't June Cleaver because I am June Cleaver....you can be Donna Read. Love ya!
That's a great reminder! How wonderful that your daughter is receptive to His truth!
