Summer Break Day 53

I am reading a book by Russ Masterson called, "40 Days Without Food." On about day 30 of his fast, he talks about ability and value not being synonymous. So I was thinking about what a great message this is for my three sons and also Corey. I need to make sure they know that when they fall short on ability, that doesn't change their value. I love that. I need to remember that, too.

On a similar train, I was thinking today about how frustrated I have been with sons who want, want, want but don't want to do, do, do. Does frustration mean ungrateful? Not to me, but maybe to them.

Processing... processing...

Day 53 Life Lesson: "My failure might be a comment on my ability but not on my value."
