I have came across many wonderful little sayings or maybe better put "phrases of wisdom", over the years and wanted to share here. Some of these has been said in my home growing up, and others i have stole from someone else since i have been a wife and mom, and yet others i have came up with my self. We like saying them around our house.
Read and Enjoy!
If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
What you Jesus say?
If there's a will there's a way.
Its never right to do wrong.
If its not fun for all, then it's not fun at all.
Never say can't.
Its better to be safe than sorry.
Many hands make light work.
It will all come out in the wash.
Don't cry over spilled milk.
What would Jesus do?
It will show up.
If you don't use it, you loose it!
What would Jesus think?
If you snooze you loose!
Don't count your chicks before they hatch.
If its the Lord's will, it will all work out.
If God's for you, who can be against you?
If it's meant to be, God will open the doors.
Take one day at a time.
Haste makes waste
Think before you speak.
Always stand for whats right, even if it means standing alone!
Go the extra mile.
Don't get mad, get glad!
If you eat the best first, you will always have the best.
Smile, Jesus loves you!
Always look on the bright side of things.
Think of others, before your self.

I messed up again
So I did it again.
I was busy this morning running around here getting ready to head out the door. Just came out of the shower , went to put dirty clothes in the babsket in the laundry room.
And there i find in the basket a couple of hubby's shorts that I had told my oldest son to put in the washing machine earlier.
I holler at him , " What are these shorts doing in the basket? I told you to put them in the wash. Now its finished . And that was my last load for the day!"
He responds,"I didn't hear you, I thought i was to put them in the basket."
Then I'm like, "Well if you didn't hear me you shold have ask what I ment."
This conversation was going on with me in the luandry room.
So i come out of there and looked at him.
And there he is sitting in the arm chair looking so sad about his mistake. In his arms is baby Anna.
He was taking care of Anna for me while I was showring and getting ready to go.
Not once did I tell him how wonderful he was to take care of Anna while I showered. Nor did I tell him how thankful I was for him being such a big boy and a big help to me.
No instead I got on to him about what he didn't do, and what he should have done.
Boy I felt bad. There he was sitting there so nice taking care of baby sister.
When i relaized my mistake I told him how bad i felt over how i had just behaved.
I told him he was so special to help me like that. And that sure he made a mistake. But the shorts could wait for another load another day.
I let him know how often both my self and daddy tend to see the things they don't do, or what they should have know to do, or what they did wrong . And over look all the many great things they do do, and the many areas they help in .
I have descided from now on for every negative thing i say I plan to say 2 positive things.
And I plan to encourage more,
affirm more,
compilment more,
smile more,
laugh more,
hug more,
and up lift more!!
More is good, right?!

Things I have Learned
Through the years of mothering I have learned so much snice I first began this monthering journry when my first wee babe was born. I know at first you feel that you know it all, you know just excatly how you want to raise your children, you have big goals, you don't want advise from your mom or mother-in-law, but then suddenly you realized that theres so much to learn!! ( atleast that was me) And learn we do through years as our children grow. Somtimes it is the hard way though. As each year goes by and each new child comes, we grow and learn a little more.
Here I have complied alist of a few things I have learned through my years of being a mom, which will soon be 10 on July 25th of this year! Wow, how the years fly and our little ones grow so quickly!
I Have learned ....
that we as parents have the abilty and power to bring out the best, or sadly the worst in our children.
that it takes respect given to recieve repsect back.
that a quiet command is so much more powerful and effetive than a hollered one. ( though hollering is tempting)
that the most importain things acomplished in a day ,can be as simple as a hug, a one on one time with a child, a story, a smile, an encouraging word, a pray at bed time.
that you as mom have the abliy to teach and train your child to be contened and satisfied with the little things in life, or just the oppitste: always wanting more, newer things, never content, never satisfied.
that our children are like sponges, they absorb everything around them, what you say and do, and other things they see and hear. So their enviorment needs to be well gaurded and controlled.
that our children can either be a blessing and a great joy to us, or just the oppoiste- its all in the way we trian them.
that it takes a ton of patience to raise children.
that alot of times a good talk is all thats needed for correction, and can be so powerful and work great wonders. I have leanrned not to corecct in haste, nor to correct in anger.
that parenting is a huge responsibily and not to be tooken lightly. When God blesses us with children he also gives us a duty that we are to carry out and accomplish with our children. He gives us guidelines to follow in His word. ( Proverbs 22:6, Deuteronomy 11: 18-20 for an example)
that we can not read God's word enough to our children.
that life is to short to worry about a little one not wanting to sleep in thier own bed, or a little one wanting to be carried around everywhere with you . Soon they will be grown and gone, and we will wish we took a little more time, let them sleep in our bed if that us neccessary and so on.
that kids often have more fun with the box a gift or toy came in, than the gift its self!!
that our children can be such a big help in day to day work, if trained to do so. Either they can be a blessing or a "handful"!
that reading God's word together daily as a family is so vital.
that I make mistakes and need to apolize to my children when I do somthing wrong. Its a very good example to the children.
that starting your day with a prayer is just as vital as is your cup of coffee. More so of course!!
And last but not least , I have learned that I have so much more to learn as the years continue!!
I hope these things are an encouragment to others, as we all grow and learn and as we continue to mother our dear little ones God has so greatly blessed us with!!!
Put God first and He will bless you greatly!!!
In Christ, Mae
