1. Today, I will make our home a house of
prayer. I will pray at set times. And I will invite our children to come move
into an interior space that lives with God.
2. Today, I will transfigure all things
into beauty, and I will refuse to see anything else.
3. Today, I will not have any
emergencies. There are no emergencies!
Only amateurs hurry.
4. Today, when stress mounts, I pray to
dismount it with gratitude. My stress management plan will be intervention with
verbal thanks. I can only feel one feeling at a time, and I choose to give
thanks at all times. Fight feeling with feeling!
5. Today, I will pray to speak words that
are only STRONG words, words that make these children feel strong. Grace words.
Grace is the only non-toxic air. All other words I breathe are death words.
6. Today, I will pray to be consistently
consistent. I will create safe rhythms that our children can find security in.
I will create daily ceremonies because everyday we are CELEBRATING the gift of
now!
7. Today, the moment when I am most
repelled by a child's behavior, that is my sign to draw the very closest to
that child.
8. Today, I will hug each of my children
as many times as I serve them meals -- because children's hearts feed on touch.
I'll look for as many opportunities to touch my children today as possible ---
the taller they are, the more so.
9. Today, my priorities will be all
Things Unseen.
10. Today, I will laugh! And I will let
the little children laugh! I will create a culture of JOY!
