Do you ever really think about what we tell our children? Sometimes its the greatest advice we could give ourselves. Here is a list of things I've been saying lately and that I've heard other parents say.
1. Use your words
(When I'm upset I need to use my own words in a kind way to explain why)
2. Jesus is always with you
(I told my son this the other day when he was scared about his swim class having to jump off the diving board. When I'm lonely or scared I need to remember this as well.)
3. Don't worry about what others think about you
(I don't want to live my life based on what others think. I need to be strong in my faith and my convictions.)
4. You are doing great, keep going.
(It is so easy for me to quit that I need to remember I can keep going.)
5. Eat your veggies
(That is pretty straightforward)
Now for the list of things I HOPE do not apply to me.
1. Do not pull your shorts down in public
2. Stop picking your nose it'll make you sick
3. Don't lick that wall
4. Keep your hands to yourself
5. Don't drink the bath water
Well maybe the last list might apply to some adults you know ;-)
