I can remember a few of those instances – a friend of the
family, a teacher, a choir director – someone who called me out for something
good, when what I really believed about myself was that I wasn’t worth calling
out. Those people saw potential;
they had the eyes of faith to see in me what could be, not what was. They made me who I am today, and I am
so grateful.
It’s with great humility that I read Neil’s words today,
because I often find myself focused on correcting my kids, and forget to
comment on what they’re doing right.
When I was a kid, there were things I wish I had been noticed for; I
want to be the Mommy who notices those things about my kids. And says so out loud.
Today, I’m going to look for those opportunities.
