On the way home, our 4 yaer old daughter suddenly told me, "Mommy, when I grows up, I want to be a good mom. I want to have two kids, a boy and a girl. The boy will be 11 years old and the girl will be 4 years old. And when they are naughty, I will give them time-out."
Aaahhh... our Baby FECS is so cute... so innocent, so simple and so so cute. I couldn't resist and gave her a tight hug and kiss at that moment. In the midst of this cute conversation with her, it also made me reflect deeply, how keenly I am made aware of how much of an influence I have on her, how much she is observing me, and looking up to me. Yet so often, I am not the best model as a mom. Countless times I have torn down things down with my own words and actions.
Dear God, in life, please let me be a helper that builds my husband up, please let me be a channel that builds my family up. I can't do it with my own strength. Please cover all the wrongs I have done and let it not affect our children."
Tomorrow is a new day to re-set and start again, with the grace that God provides. I am back to the school of life to learn again how to be a good mom.
Proverbs 14:1 "A wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down."
在回家的路上小女儿突然对我说：“妈妈，我长大后要当一个好妈妈，我要有两个孩子，一男一女，男的11岁，女的4岁。要是我的孩子坏蛋的话，我就会给他们timeout。”
在这可爱的对话中也让我深思了。我的一举一动，小女儿都紧紧得在观察着向着我看齐。这真让我深深地体会到什么叫做妈妈对孩子们的影响力是多么大的。这重大的责任，我很多时候都没办法做好。
主啊，在我的生命里，请您让我做我的先生身旁的好帮手，让我做我的家庭身边的好帮手。请您淹盖我一切的过错，不要让它们影响到我的孩子们。
我会再接再厉继续努力，继续上课学习做个好妈妈。
”智慧妇人，建立家室；愚妄妇人，亲手拆毁。” 箴言14:1
