HUMILITY AND CONFIDENCE Monday Morning.

We had a wonderful time at Cultus lake on Sunday with most of the family.  I was so happy to see Oliver and Lea and Craig, and each one of the others.  It was a celebration of Theresa's birthday and I will put pictures on later or to-morrow.

 Dad published this last night by mistake.


It is very important to try and become balanced so that at times our confidence shines while at other times it is our humility.  Our goal for our children was to treat others fairly, expect that life is unfair and even hard at times, and to be honest and kind.

There are times when our greatest strength is to be confident and I often find that comes when I feel I am in the right place doing the right thing.  Like taking Jim his milkshake.
The only problem was dad wanted to change the slow leaking tire at the same time.  The only problem was that a key was needed to take the tires off.  It is always the same story we try to lock things up and often it is us that our locked up and unable to get in.  That seems to be the case with me.

Every morning I want to live the day with a caring and a peaceful heart But there seems to be strong, very strong-willed forces working against me.

Keeping children active helps everyone to have fun.

Years ago my first reaction would be to freak out, to feel anger and frustration and even annoyance.  Being with children is a test of our character and both of us have growing pains.

Children also remind us not to take life too seriously.  Most of us can handle filling one pail at a time!   or taking one  day a\t a time!

I have lost confidence in my own strength and ability to do things I would like, in fact I can even get dizzy standing on a chair, but it is both humbling and yet joyful as I appreciate life even more.

Trying to be like some one else does not make me better but accepting my own uniqueness is loving myself as I am and loving others as they are!
