Tuesday Tidbit

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...Every Person or Household Is Not The Same.

Ladies, having three kids that range in the ages of 7 to 22 years, I've gone through years of hearing that "such and such can", "such and such has this or that", "that's not fair", "why can't I" and on,on. Anyway maybe if kids are taught early that every person/household is not the same we would not have as many kids or adults, pardon my use of the cliche'- "trying to keep up with the Jones(s)". I got to tell you I was one of those kids and I definitely turned into one of those adults.(Being honest with self is therapeutic) Learning early on that every person/household is different, would make understanding that every mom, dad, husband, wife, sister, brother, teacher, salary, house, job, car, boss, bank account and so on is not going to be exactly like yours. Break the trendy cycle of keeping up with the Jones(s) by sharing with your kids today that every person/household is unique,not every person or household is the same nor are they required to be the same. What works for you or your household my not work for your friend's or neighbor's household. We all have seen, read, or heard the saying, " that there will always be someone smarter, someone that looks better, cooks better, cleans better, speaks better, writes better, has the husband that does more around the house or with the kids, makes more money, lives in the bigger house, drives the nicer car, kids do better in school or even behave better", it may all be true or it could just be your perception. Just do you! Just be you! Just do your best in being and enjoying who and what God created and blessed you to be.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~Delphine

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Philippians 4:6-9 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
