Psalm 73:28 : Finger Prints of God

Mason came to me after dinner and asked if we could paint with our hands. Every other day, or I should say any other week I would have said no and made up a reason as to why we couldn't. Well after meeting a lovely family last week and seeing the trails they were having to endure my parenting has changed. I was blessed by them. More than they know.

I have worked on being more patient with the children, and not so quick to not participate in whatever it was they were wanting to do. More patient in my discipline with the two of them and their "sibling rivalry". It all boils down to enjoying these two little lives that God has blessed me with and trusts me to raise. Lately I have gotten impatient with them because of things that I am needing to get done. That my friends is not their fault, or their responsibility to endure by way of discipline.

So tonight, we finger

painted! :) I have a roll of white paper that I actually had from T-Ball season that I received from one

of the parents (was to return it, but the season ended and well we just have not communicated since). So we got the paper rolled out, down to our undies - it was washable, but I don't trust washable. :) The boys used their entire hands, their feet, and their fingers to create their "art". I then joined in and made a few hand prints with them. :) Then of course we had to get a little messy. :) I went to give Mason a high five, and well.... I missed... on purpose. He just thought it was the funniest thing, and things took off from there. :)

While they played and made they just thought it was a fun activity I am picturing this framed and on a wall, and paying close attention to their hand prints, and the changes they have made. God has blessed me, Blessed me TREMENDOUSLY with these two little guys!!

I am so t

hankful for the place He brought me last week, and how He is working in my heart on a daily basis to be a better mother to the children he has let me borrow. :)
