ME THINKS
/He thinks ---
thoughts by Dr. John L. Lund
I
enjoyed reading some of these cause they make you think and some take a
couple times to read I found them from somewhere out there awhile back
so here ya go....

{ I just thought this one was funny}
Stop saying to people: you need/you should/you ought. Instead say, "it would mean a lot to me if....."
Give a rational for your request.
Rather than define what your child has to do, define what you are going to do about their choices.
TAKE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS TO THE LORD AND YOUR LOVE TO YOUR FAMILY.
Transfer responsibility to your children as they demonstrate the ability to handle it.
Ask the children how they would like to hear things of a critical nature discussed.
You can't be FAIR to each child.
Let go of expectations that you will have their love and appreciation.
Parents are held hostage by fear of 'missed opportunities.'
A toxic child will give you what you want when you give them what they want.
Don't accept responsibility for stewardships beyond that which God has given you.
You can't share and teach beyond the level of their willingness to accept.
God can't take us faster than we're prepared to go.
"If you're not happy you're not grateful".We fought a war to be in control of our own happiness.
People have to learn things by the things which they suffer.
Hel. 13:38 You have sought all the days of your life for that which you can not obtain.
We can't control being loved, only loving others.

Its up to you
We can't let how others treat us or what happens to us determine our day, life or year...
We often times feel left out, forgotten, unappreciated, and looked over in life but we have to do what we can to be happy within and let all those feelings go or we will never be fully happy...but it is hard to do especially when its close to home or within families....
I think remembering those and loving those that live under our roofs and those closest in our lives is the very most important influence for good we can have to better ourselves and our families to be happy, fulfilled and loved to our fullest. ♥

Ha- I never thought of that-- of all the color we missed in the black and white pictures. That was pretty neat with all those dresses.
Your kids' Easter outfits were adorable.
I'm looking forward to some warmer weather... I just want to be able to get outside a LITTLE BIT!!!! And also summer and our trip to the States. And also for my baby to stop waking up in the night so much.
Cute Easter pictures. Would you be able to email me copies of the 90th pictures. I know there will probably be pictures given but chances of us actually getting them may be slim. :) thanks. I really like Dr.lund he has some great things and is funny to listen to.
I am looking forward to summer and spending time down at my parents. I really am looking forward to getting unpacked. Love ya! Good luck surviving the week. :)
So THAT'S what I can do with all the clothes I save for sentimental reasons! Give them to my grandddaughters when I am 90. What a COOL idea! Seriously. That is the best. So neat to see you all wearing them for your grandma. I bet she truly loved that.
I had to chuckle at the paparazzi photo. Awesome! What would we do if we didn't have cameras at all our family events, eh? ; ) Our kids are sure growing up pretty use to it, aren't they. I don't hardly ever remember a camera growing up.
Your kiddos sure looked great for Easter! What great memories for them to look back on.
Have a great weekend!
