What Example am I Following?

thermometerKids pick up stuff.I know this firsthand because over the past two weeks, we’ve gone through about 12 boxes of tissue and two bottles of children’s Motrin trying to manage mucus and control fevers. Because, you see, my kids picked up the flu.(This is a big reason I’ve been rather quiet here on the blog—I’ve been attending to sick kids.)But kids pick up other stuff, too, like good habits and bad attitudes.It leaves me wondering, What am I modeling?Inspired by stories from two HighCallingBlogs.com bloggers—Jennifer of Getting Down with Jesus and Ann Voskamp of Holy Experience—I wrote about how kids follow our example, imitating what they observe in us.If they’re following my example, what example am I following?Read more here…(You’re welcome to comment there and/or here—High Calling Blogs folks as well as my own readers would love to hear your thoughts!)

    I know exactly what you mean! Myself and the kids have the swine flu and I have been so sick that I have not even wanted to get on the computer. That means I have been really sick. No studying either. But there I am OK.

    Thanks for the advice to have a few Make-Do’s ready and in holding for those Mondays when life throws it’s curves. If I had not had last Mondays post ready early, I would not have posted for this week! All I had to do was create the linky code, embed it and then post the page.

    Thanks for your continued advice. You are a lifesaver. I hope you all are well now. My prayers are with you.

    Shari

    Ann:

    I sent you an e-mail with a link, and I have no idea if you saw it amid the many things in your inbox. Could you shoot me a line, please? Just so I’ll know you did.

    Be ever so blessed!
