Cheering the Small

March 11th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Small Successes

1. Though I have mentioned it on Twitter, I have not officially complained about a certain two-year-old’s magnetism for mud.  I have resolved, instead, to hold off on potty training until mud season is over, because I can only handle so many outfit changes an hour.

2. I have wanted to give up on a certain Lenten project, but I haven’t.  I have also wanted to do more (you know, because I can never do enough), but I haven’t.  Instead, I’ve been holding steady, offering my small failures to God as a little gift of humility and taking the graces as a sign of love.

3. Tonight is leftover night, because I’ve been cooking this week (not with a plan, mind you, but still).

You’ll find more small successes today, as you will every Thursday, at Faith & Family Live.

    I love #2…I’d call that one a pretty big success! Letting go, embracing humility…God bless you!

    I’d say your biggest success of all is in a patient attitude it sounds like. God Bless.
