Do you ever feel like the days just slip by. Another day, another week, another year down.
Our oldest daughter is 9 and she is officially half way done living under our roof.
What is it we want them to learn as children? What is the "End Goal" for their childhood? Questions I ponder with myself quite often, almost daily actually.
What am I teaching them by my actions alone? Somedays I cringe when listen in on them playing house or with their toys and I hear them talking among themselves and totally hear myself in their words.. and then think to myself, wow do I really say that?? I will them find myself going back to the drawing board and learning how to say my words differently. Simply being conscious of what I say to them. I am no expert, but I also know its takes a lot to think about your thoughts before you say them.
What I do know is their childhood is happening now. Ultimately I want them to know God, kindness, empathy and Love for others.
I will not get caught up in the what-ifs, or the I wish I would've. Instead I will do the things, being conscious of my thoughts and words daily. Personally seeking wisdom, and faith. I will read them the stories and snuggle them while I can, because once their childhood is gone you will never get it back.
