I have a feeling if i raised my voice less and practiced more patience things would go smoother.
I have a feeling in if I walked over to my children and told them or asked them what I wanted them to do instead of calling across the room, that there would not be an issue with not being heard. ( so often i hear, "but i never heard you", upon asking them why they did not do what they were told.)
I bet if i sung songs or hummed tunes around the house all the time that my kids would do that to. ( oh wouldn't that be beautiful)
I have a feeling if i complained less, and praised more the kids would be happier for it.
I have a feeling that if i sung silly little songs to my son Sam it may help him with his sneaking and lying habit. They could go like this, "Samuel is a child of God, he knows better than to lie or sneak, Yes Samuel is a child of God, he always does what is right".
I imagine if i was a funner mom i would have funner kids.
And if I was a quieter mom I would have quieter kids.
I have a feeling if I am always 'content with whatsoever i have', that my kids would be too.
And if i never raised my voice and lost my patience they probably wouldn't either. ( oh why do kids have to take after their moms for?"
I have a feeling if I quoted Bible verses throughout out the day, that my kids would learn their memory verses better. ( I think it is so awesome to see children that know oodles of verses from memory, of course whats better than that, is seeing those verses applied to life and lived out) (if it's not, then it's all in vain anyway)
I have a feeling i had better apply all of the above to my life and live it out to make a happier and smoother running home! And sooner the better too!
In Him,
Mae

How true, how true. I'm right with you on this. Always seeking to approach my children better, to appreciate them more.
