when in truth we have perfectly lovely grass in our own yard

Why do I sometimes focus more on what my kids "aren't" rather than what they "are"?

    Being a mom is a hard job...so much to teach them and prepare them for to get ready for adulthood. It's easy to focus on what they don't know yet or haven't accomplished yet..sometimes we forget that God has already given them so many things (gifts and such) that we had nothing to do with at all.

    sometimes it's not so bad to look at what people "aren't."
    i can list a raft of things your kids aren't (and thank goodness):

    rude
    greedy
    stupid
    boring
    ugly
    unfunny
    unlovable
    unflushable

    i could go on, but you get the idea here.
