So, as a mom there are moments that are so very dear that they become little treasures that you store in a very safe place.
I have had several of those moments throughout the years with each of my children...Katie, Becky and David.
Just this past week, I have had a few of those moments with each of my children....one came just today....when my daughter Katie, told me one of the things that she loves about me.
She loves that I am "not quick to judge others" and that I do not "impose my ways on her, instead, when she asks for advice, I ask questions to walk her through processing her thoughts" (this is quoting her). She thinks that is a rare quality in mom's. I told her I wasn't sure about that...but I am sure about this, I have had moments when others have judged me, and I knew that there was so much more to the story, so I try to keep that in mind when things are happening....also, I have needed so much grace in my life, and therefore, I try to extend that same thing to others. Katie said, "Yeah mom, I appreciate that in you."
"...and Mary treasured these things in her heart."
Thumbs up!
