I posted this back in 2013, but I wanted to share it again.
Blessings!
We often fail as parents. Although we love our children dearly, the truth is, we aren’t perfect. We make mistakes. Since I’m older and one of the reasons I blog is to share something that might inspire, encourage or teach someone, I thought I’d share one of my failures.
One of the areas I missed the mark on was in putting too much emphasis on outer appearance. Now, don’t get me wrong, I realize we want them to bathe, brush their teeth and look and smell at least somewhat approachable. This can be a feat in itself in those elementary years.
But, I was overly concerned with appearance. I didn’t realize I was doing this because I was verbalizing all the right things. Beauty is as beauty does, God looks upon the heart; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and what’s inside is what truly matters.
