I found joy and took pleasure criticizing other people either to myself or to whoever was near. God has shown me over the last 12 years how wrong I was. He used my son. IW would leave everyone's house and just complain about everything and everyone. God was good to point out to me that is what I was doing. Through God's strength I have changed. I have tried to refocus IW and my other children that we need to show that person grace when they criticize. I let them know that it is God and their parents responsibility to correct the behavior or attitude not theirs. <BR/><BR/> I am far from perfect I still stumble on this one. I have apologize to my kids for what I said and let them know that is not how God wants me to behave. <BR/><BR/>Alicia, keep on pursing what God calls you pursue.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300158329657912671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-24791101336140439622008-06-02T09:22:00.000-07:002008-06-02T09:22:00.000-07:00what a humbling but wonderful way to show your kid...what a humbling but wonderful way to show your kids you messed up but wanted to do the right thing in the end. that speaks volumes too! :) that is not an easy thing to do.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804353351160018502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-32443190921418523552008-06-02T05:42:00.000-07:002008-06-02T05:42:00.000-07:00Recently I had a very dear friend tear me apart, b...Recently I had a very dear friend tear me apart, because I refused to agree with her on something. The kids heard me tear her apart to myself. They in turn said they wouldn't be friends with her kids. Wrong for me to do! So I made sure that they were within ear shot when I called and apologized for my pride in the matter.<BR/>Man how our attitudes affect our children's attitudes. It is a vicious cycle if we let it and I appreciate the reminder.Zimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.com
