Cherishing the sweet moments

Do you ever feel as though you are to critical of your children? I do. I am the mother that from the time my child came home at 14mos. until he was 3 got compliments on how well manner and sweet and cute my child was. Now, I am picking him up from Sunday School and I am being told he is kicking and not listening. His temperament has become such an issue over the past few months that I sometimes feel like I am at my wits end. So, what do I then begin to do? I compare him to other children and find all his faults.

So, I wanted to take this time to share some of his sweet moments:
-We tell him quite often he is such a hugger. He loves to give them out to whoever will take one.
-He tells me he loves me all day long, sometimes with one of those great big hugs.
-He always tells me "thank you and may I be excused," when he leaves the table.
-He loves to help me do laundry.
-or help his daddy fix whatever may be broken.
-His laugh is so intoxicating. It is so pure.
-He loves to pray at night for others, he has a list and he likes to pick out who we will pray for.
-He says "I'll be patient while I wait for my baby brother to come home."


These are just a few, I could go on and on. But it is good to remind myself of those moments and cherish them in my heart. He is a gift from God and I want to bring glory to God in raising him.


Is that Micah or Gloria Vanderbilt?
