LOOK FOR THE GOOD

 Dear Kids, 

The podcast is coming along. Nicely actually. We are almost done outlining the lessons on the powerpoint slides, we are getting things put together with the scripts and we are going to start recording soon... I hope. It's been a HUGE process and I can't believe how much my brain has forgotten how strenuous it is to always be putting together content for other's to listen to! It's crazy!

Your dad and I made another commitment that everyday we are going to be making time for meditation, personal prayers, family prayers and making sure we are reading scriptures everyday as a family. We need more of the spirit in our lives, and we need more of God in order for that to come about. 

I've been meditating every morning and praying in my heart for the Lord to help me be spiritually focused in a way that I can really apply everything that we are teaching in our lives as a family and as parents. There are many situations that I do great in! And there are many moments that I can improve. 

I HOPE you know kids, that your mom and dad are doing our best, but you are going to have to forgive us of our humanity as you are growing and getting older. We are figuring this out as we go along and doing our best to be close to God inside of it all. As our kids you will know our weaknesses better than ANYONE else. 

Please give us grace. 

When you look back at us, look for the good. Look for what we are always striving to do. Look for what we DID accomplish as a family. LOOK FOR THE GOOD! In us and in everyone around you. That doesn't mean not to have boundaries, you need to protect yourself from anyone who might be destructive. But when someone is doing their best, look for the good. 

I love you kids. SO MUCH. 

Your Mom
