Im thinking about my 5 kids.. And Im wondering what exactly do my kids see when they look at me. Im thinking and wonder AM I LEADING BY EXAMPLE?? Do they see me doing what i want them to do, in the behavioral part, and in the communication area....am i listening and trying to HEAR them out?? Am i allowing them to make choices.. Or am i simply ORDERING & COMMANDING them to do as i want them to do. Do i want them to do what I THINK IS BEST FOR THEM? Am i letting my past experiences define how THEY SHOULD ACT? am i being respectful to them? I mean since i expect it, shouldnt i be giving that respect to them also especially in HOW I SPEAK TO MY KIDS ?! This brings me to think about the good ol GOLDEN RULE.... Matthew 7:12 ....whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them... i mean theyre little ppl, but none the less they are still ppl that we should respect. its quiet here in my home... and im looking at a toy truck on the floor and a makeup bag with a hair straightner next to it. And i realize that those things belong to the most important little ppl in my life.....our 5 kids. And i know that they depend on myself and my husband to teach them the right path in life. To guide them in the right direction... To help them learn to make the best decisions as possible.... to never ever give up on them. No matter how hard situations may get, i have to believe that God will help my husband and i in raising our children. we cannot guide our own kids if we ourselves dont even know where were going! And that is so true.... Im not the perfect mother, and i accept that i never will be because honestly no one will ever be a perfect parent, but i do know that i have 5 sets of little eyes looking at me... And i have to set the best example that i can for them. Gabriel Canals
