It's taken me longer than it should have, but I've finally realized a compelling truth today. And that is this "when Moma ain't happy, ain't nobody Happy." (imagine that in a Tennessee accent) :) But it's true. My attitude & my outlook have a tremendous effect on my household, how our days start & how the day plays out. I've realized that the days the girls & I are really at each other are the days when I am very quick with them, the days when I think I've got more to do than just be with them.
So, I've decided to change my ways. Starting tomorrow morning, I will begin my days with this prayer from Hillsong's song Hosanna :
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you and love me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your Kingdom's cause
If I want my kids to grow up with Kingdom thoughts, Kingdom eyes and Kingdom action, than I have teach them Kingdom thoughts, show them Kingdom acts and teach them how to store up their treasures in heaven. Will you pray this with me?
