Scripture Memory - September 15

Happy fall! The weather has turned crisp and rather cold here so we are putting all our fall decorations out and thoroughly enjoying it. Fall is my favorite season.

Today was my due date for Alana but she decided to wait another whole week to make her entrance into the world. Next week at this time, I will be the mother of a 10-year-old. Shocking.

It's time for our next verse - past time, actually. I seem to always be running a little behind these days.....

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. - Proverbs 31:26 (ESV)

To me, this is probably the most convicting of all the Proverbs 31 woman verses. Sometimes it's hard, with little ones running around always needing something from me, to be teaching them with kindness. It comes far more natural to teach them with firmness, with boldness, and often, with impatience. I pray this verse often these days - that I will teach my three little blessings with kindness. That I will homeschool with kindness. That I will potty train with kindness. That I will comfort with kindness.

Have a good weekend!
