What would you change about Mom?

Yep this is what I actually asked my girls.  “Tell me one thing you would change about Mom if you could.”  Constructive criticism is a good thing right?  I put it out there and yet I still cringed inwardly and braced myself for what they would say.

I always have them answer littlest to biggest otherwise the little ones just copy the older ones.  So I waited while Grace thought.  Finally, she said something about cooking something different for lunch.  Evidently that particular meal wasn’t  her favorite.  Well I got off easy that time.  Whew.

Joy was ready with her answer and delivered it like a pro volleyball player serving the ball, “I would change you yelling at me during school work.”  This one didn’t surprise me.  It’s true.  I lose patience quite often.  I am and have been working on this!  I admitted my sin to her and took a second to talk about how she might help me by being more cooperative.  Ahem!  I didn’t dwell on it though as change in me was the focus here.

As I turned to my eldest daughter, I held my breath and waited.  “I know exactly what I would change.  I would make you a queen!”

    aw…clearly, that’s the blessing intended to reward your sincere effort to be accountable to your girls. You’re setting a beautiful example.
    Peace and good.
