Believe in the Best
I came across this quote on my computer tonight. I think my sister Mary shared it with me long ago. So timely for me to see it this week! This is going to be my theme for tomorrow with my children.
I’ve been pretty hard on my tots lately… expecting a lot of them … being a tired and cranky prego mom isn’t the best for bringing out the positive in my children. I’m afraid I focus more on what’s going wrong with their daily chores than what is going right. So – Try I shall… to see the good in what they do… and are. A little love and encouraging word would do more for them than correction with a grim face. Try I shall! … I shall.
A good life lesson to learn but hard to always implement. So many things to improve on in mortal life … sigh…
p.s. doesn’t it seem like Marvin J. Ashton was such a cheerful soul? I don’t remember hearing many (or any) of his messages, but the book and the talks I’ve read made me think he tried to find joy in the good things.
Love this! Heath you are so so good. I needed this reminder too, it’s a constant inner struggle within myself to bite my tongue when I see things that are not to my liking! I’m rather quick to let them know and some days I can go on and on. Poor kids. They do need a mom who notices the good! I’m hanging this up at our house. Thanks millions!
Heather! I just found your blog and LOVE it. You are so stinkin’ cute. Do you mind if I print that quote out to put on my fridge? It’s so pretty and a perfect reminder for me this week.
