"While we do want to discover the uniqueness of each child, our praise must consist of verbal applause for more than appearance and talents. The most important traits we praise are those that exhibit Godly character. The Bible calls these "the fruit of the Spirit": love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). If even a sprout of these fruits peeks through the soil, a wise mother will fertilize the sprout with positive words in hopes of a bountiful harvest." - The Power of a Woman's Words by Sharon Jaynes
I am loving this book! It's inspiring me so much that I'm reading it ultra slow, one section at a time, so I can drag out how long I'm inspired. Do you ever do that?
Yes, that happens to me. Sometimes I like a book so much that I put it aside on purpose so that it doesn't end too quickly. There's a very beautiful purple flower in the photo!💜
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun feeling! I certainly didn't grow those beautiful flowers but they are so pretty, I knew I wanted to use them for a photo!
DeleteOh my, I am going to have to look for this book.
