We’ve had a nasty case of the “gimmies” and the “I wants” around here – and not just with the children. Thank you for sharing this at just the right time! Thanks for linking up at Thrive @ Home!

These are some very very GREAT things to practice and I like how you incorporate each into a lesson for your family, this is such a great example of how we should teach through example and not just through lecture. Thank you for sharing, I’m stopping by from Denise In Bloom and I pray that you have a beautiful weekend!
Working together as a family to encourage new characteristics is much more profitable I believe! Thank you for stoppin by! 🙂 Blessings! 🙂
