My brain does not like to slow down. Meditation is not an easy thing for me. But if I accomplish 20 things in a day, and haven't taken time for quiet meditation, then it isn't a good day. I generally like to sit at the end of the day, and take a look back. What was good, what went wrong, how can I change and grow? I tend to require a lot of do-overs.
I think about how I get frustrated with my boys when I have to tell them over and over again to do things. (Even knowing that I am no better!!) But I also think about how proud I am when they do it right. I love to celebrate and make a big deal out of great behavior.
I am glad my Father is merciful, and far more patient than I am.
