This was a great post. I think I need to make a big banner and hang that in my house as a reminder. At times I do feel that my reaction is just off. Intellectually I know that I should be more compassionate, caring, understanding. And instead I feel frustrated and that I have nothing to give. I'm going to try to remember to use love.

Love the idea of quiet time, Jessica- that's often what we as adults do, right?
This was a really nice post, Kate, and such a great resolution to start the year with. I'm sure the peace of mind this fosters will seep over into many other areas of your life!

Wow, a "time-in." Hmm, I didn't even know about this until now, but I do something very similar with my 2 year old. When he's unraveling I ask him if he'd like some quiet time (either with me or by himself) and he often takes me up on it. Of course there are moments when he would rather be angry, but I'm cool with that, too.

And what a beautiful family you've described. I'm really touched by your words. Thank you.

That 'Time In' is awesome! I really resonate with this - I've just finished reading Unconditional Parenting and I think it's so important to respond to needs, regardless of how they might be communicated.

I love you used a time-in. I need to get back to that more often.

We can identify with the disciples. At times, we have
a tendency to focus on the things that are going on around us instead of the One that is in control of all things. When that happens, reality may seem overwhelming, and the problems appear unsolvable. However, we must realize to be fearful
is to lack faith in God and in His provision for us. True faith focuses on God, not on the things that are happening.
Psalm 139:11-12
If I say, surely the darkness shall fall on me,
Even the night shall be light about me.
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide
from You, but the night shines as the day,
the darkness and the light are both
a like to You.
in Jesus love >> Kelly

Wow, how beautifully written. I'm not there yet, as I have only a 8 month old little boy, but I will be there soon. Thank you for writing this, as it is a great reminder of how I want to be. Thank you!

I had a similar experience recently though my epiphany to respond with love came as I returned from grocery shopping solo, having won that prize because I just couldn't keep my temper with my son. As I drove home and thought about how much I love my son, how I feel when I cuddle him in his sleep, how I felt the first time I held him...I just realised that I need to respond with that kind of love all the time.

Unfortunately, it is so hard to remember that every day.

Thank you for your beautifully written reminder.

This reminds me of how many mothers use breastfeeding to calm tantrums. But loves and hugs are just as good and comforting. A beautiful post!

Oh, my goodness, that was beautiful! And a perfect reminder to "use love" with my own 2-and-a-half-year-old. It's a challenging time, but I, too, often find myself behaving more childishly and insensitively than he does. Thank you!

**wipes tears from eyes** that was beautiful - thank you! I think we can ALL resonate with your words. I've BTDT so many times and I only have ONE child! You're awesome and a beautiful writer too. Thanks so much for sharing.
