If I could live my life over

If I could live my life over---there are a few things I would do different.

I would do less criticizing, and more encouraging.

I would tell my children more often how much I love them, and how proud I am of the choices they have made (mostly!) (:-), especially their wives and the grandchildren they have blessed us with.

I would save the arguments for important things; things that affect their character, work ethic, or eternal destiny. Not what they would wear today, whether they cleaned their plate, or scrubbed behind their ears.

I would listen more and advise less.

I would tell my husband EVERY DAY, how fortunate I am to have married him. He has been such a good provider, an encouraging father (I don't think I have ever heard a critical word come out of his mouth), patient beyond measure, and generous to a fault sometimes.

I would read my Bible more, pray more, REALLY work on developing a RELATIONSHIP with Christ sooner.

I would be kinder to those who were not especially kind to me, especially those students I had in school who seemed to get on my VERY LAST NERVE!! I have learned that what goes around, comes around!!

I would choose to have a happy heart!

I would have my grandchildren first!!
