Let Everything Be Done With Love

Welcome back to another week at Grace & Truth!

A few weeks ago, Dawn joined our group of hostesses, and this week Aimee is joining us. Both are wonderful writers who share from their hearts. I’ve come to appreciate them both an I’m so glad they are a part of our group here!

This week I read a post that jumped out at me - as in, grabbed hold of me, spoke to my heart and really made me re-examine my own perspective.

Perspective. It’s interesting - my younger son is having to learn to understand other people’s perspectives. He doesn’t naturally understand that other people have perspectives and that his actions can impact another. He’s come a long way in understanding this, but along with his understanding of perspective-taking, I have had to grow in my own understanding.

And that’s where this post came in - Katie shares about the one thing that our kids need to see in us. She framed it in a story about her kids discussing what makes other people grumpy. When they began to discuss what made Mom grumpy, her eyes were opened to how her attitude impacts them, and how she wasn’t taking into account how her negativity impacted them.

I found myself thinking, “Hmm…I wonder if my kids feel this way sometimes. Maybe I should ask them. No, I don’t want to ask them, because I don’t want to actually hear their answer.“

Talk about some conviction - but in such a good way. I love these words she shared:

Something is wrong if the things we mean to do in love continually come out looking like just another obligation.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes and read her thoughts - you’ll be encouraged to fight for your kids’ hearts an double check your attitude. Thank you, Katie!
