A Teachable Moment
Mommy Brain Moment:
Teachable moments are everywhere if you keep your eyes open for them. Take today. It wasn't a great day. Cranky kids, cranky mom and telemarketers. You can read the whole story here. It wasn't my most stellar moment, but it turned into a wonderful teaching opportunity.
The girls knew I had been sarcastic on the phone, and they knew I was starting to feel bad. I swallowed my pride, called the woman back and apologized. Totally out of my comfort zone, but something that needed to be done. Not only was it the right thing to do, but I was able to show the kids through my actions, how to make a wrong, right.
As moms, we are always leading by example right or wrong. It can be tough sometimes, but how precious when we teach them the right way. The Holy Spirit will lead us if we are willing to follow. Let Him bring those teachable moments even if it means a slice of humble pie.
Speaking of teachable moments, I have a guest blogger on Four Fantabulous Females (a blog for preteens and teens and those who love them written by my older three daughters and me), today. Tricia Goyer, a mom and author, takes a sad situation and turns it into something we can use to teach our children an important lesson. Check it out.

A Little About Me...
I’m married to an amazing man (who finds me entertaining though I’m not sure what he means by that), and a mama of six. I suffer frequent 'mommy brain' moments - but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
We also have six fur babies: two standard poodle, Harley and Davey, and four kitties: Jo Jo. Oncilla (Onci), Nougat (looks like the candy) and my baby, Lady Muse.
I’m a Jesus lovin', home schoolin' (who teaches who around here?), camera wieldin', music listenin', dance wigglin', novel readin', prose writin' kinda gal.
Now sit back and stay a while. Don't forget to leave a comment, so I can visit you!
