Been thinking about your question about how my kids respond when we give them gifts..... Would it sound terrible to say I wish they were more appreciative? It seems like at times, they EXPECT gifts from us. Sometimes, when we've given gifts, they seem to enjoy the gifts for a time. It has also challenged me to think about how I respond when God gives me gifts. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised when my children respond with less than sincere gratitude; I am not always a good role model in how I receive gifts from my Heavenly Father.....
I love words. As a writer, I use words to connect with my readers. As an editor, I love to help other writers hit their mark. As a speaker, I talk about real life issues that women and moms face, reminding them that life doesn't have to be perfect to be good.
