Bonnie -

Thank you so much for that. This is something I definitely want to pass down to my kids! I tend to want to portray to them that I have it all together. What an even bigger gift it would be to remind them that you never stop improving and learning.

Congrats on the 100th post! I always enjoy what you have to say and I was actually surprised to see how recently you started blogging. I thought you’d been at it for years. :)

Thanks for the comment, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. :)

And I’m a mom — and I do the same thing.

We are all learning — as students in life. That’s what I want to pass down to my kids.

I agree – having kids watch me day after day is SO sobering. I find myself biting my tongue a lot! :)

I like how this post reminds us to focus on what we have.

Thank you.

Thank you also for the honor of listing me on your blogroll – I’m counting my blessings, as I celebrate my 100th post. And friends like you are ones I want to stop by and say I’m thankful for, to share this faith journey online.

Like you, I’m praying my children will be much farther in that path called “contentment” when they’re my age. How blessed your son is to have you teach him to delight in the Lord above all.

I have to be honest, knowing that my kids are watching and that I’m responsible for showing them what a Christian is definitely influences how I live my life. :)
