FLAWS, WE ALL HAVE THEM
Jenna and Logan have gotten their sibling parts down to a fine art these days. Jenna has the big sister bossiness mastered and Logan plays the annoying little brother part perfectly. AND they tattle ALOT about EVERYTHING....
As we were driving to church yesterday, the kids were eating their breakfast and Jenna in her most disgusted, nine year old, big sister voice says, "Mom, Logan is chewing with his mouth open."
Me, in my annoyed, stop tattling voice replied, "Jenna, you have got to learn to be more tolerant."
She shoots back with, "How do you do that?"
I really had to think about my answer and I am not sure if it was even a good one. But it got me thinking about how easy it is to get too focused on other peoples flaws. We all have flaws, no human is perfect but often it is easier to point out someone else's then to see our own. Jenna didn't realize that she was smacking when she chewed but no one had pointed that out.....
How much better would our world or even our households be if we focused on the good in people and pointed that out instead?
