One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Don't let one set back get you down...

Disappointment comes with living
The alternative is fail to try
Simply do your best each time
Then, don't question why
If you know that could have done more
Next time, even the score

Nobody wins every battle,
But know this isn't a war
Continue to believe in God
You wanted this, but He promises more

We all have different journeys
Your intended blessings always come to you
So don't you fret too much child
One contest doesn't determine your value

Hubris is dangerous to catch
It makes you feel invincible
Sometimes God withholds things from us
To remind us of the true principle

He can provide for ALL your needs
According to His riches in glory
Do not let one "loss"
Keep you from remembering the story

You can't always get what you want
But each time you get what you need
So continue to try and be confident
Know that you will ultimately succeed

On your journey you will encounter trials
Indeed you will experience strife
But learn to rejoice in the victories and setbacks
Because my dear, this is called life.
