I have found that something I tried to teach the kids has not really impacted them much at all... However while I try to adjust the attitudes of my 6 and 8 year old I did find that God had a thing or two to tell me about that. I keep telling my kids about a joyful heart being good medicine while a broken spirit dries up the bones.
While I moped about having to get up early and deal with work and having everybody underappreciate me I was very concerned that my children had very bad attitudes. God showed me what I had the ability to address and it wasn't someone else's attitude.
Well I took that to heart and it has certainly made a difference in the way I feel when I get up and when I work and when I am with the kids and listening to my wife, and you get the picture. I guess sometimes those wonderful messages that I have to share were really meant for me. Hmmm. A double-edged sword.
God Bless.
