Attitude Adjustment Again...

Okay so here I am again in need of yet another attitude adjustment. I am not complaining and love it when God is revealing. It shows that He cares for little ole insignificant me.

Well let me begin with I am really good at telling my children to get a
song in their heart and a smile on their face. I need a little, or maybe a lot, dose of my own advice apparently. I woke this morning with no song in my heart or smile on my face. I think it was more grizzly bear but anyway I was not a force to be reckoned with. I had yelled at both children and had spanked one, not out of anger but out of impatience, all before 7a.m. and all I could think of was man I am so T-I-R-E-D and why do these kids have to get up so early?!


This little guys lives in our front porch steps.

Then that little voice started whispering ever so softly to me. Which snaps me out of it and then leads me to scripture. I love how scripture has what I need to glorify God in my everyday life. I was just telling a dear friend how I strive to be Christ-like to my husband, which I fail daily but I am a continuous work in progress. Immediately after I said that it hit me that I am not so conscience of my "actions" in front of my children, well to a point anyway. I can be quick to anger and have no patience at times. Not that I am beating them, cussing them,..but you get my point.

So there I was bright and early roaming the house like a rabid opossum, I just like opossums, and for my poor choice of going to bed very late and being very tired was my childrens' fault how?! Hmmmmm.....

So when I woke up I thought crap it is so early in the am. With some scripture and an attitude adjustment, I think Thank You God for this glorious day.

Instead of my kids are driving me crazy....it is Thank you God for blessing me with these wonderful creations which I am so undeserving of being their mom.


This picture I liked because you can see my bright yellow furniture in the background.

Thank you God for loving me and sending your Son for me..... man I get so skewed and off course at times but THANK YOU GOD for always reeling me back in and keeping me on your path! I am responsible for these little ones getting on the right path to God and thankfully with His gentle reminders it tells me what a big responsibility I have with my children and I do not want to take that lightly by any means. . .

So the day has taken a much better turn since my attitude adjustment and I know my family is happier for it as well as me. We spent some time outside playing and planting flowers. Found a robins nest with two eggs too.... God is so wonderful!



An interesting lesson in SS class this past Sunday.... James 3, Taming The Tongue. God might as well picked up the bible and smacked me with it. So I have been spending some time with James and can already see going back to him again and again. =)

I am a continual work in progress...
