“In raising my children, I have lost my mind but found my soul. ” – Lisa T. Shepherd
I thought it would be fun to do some intentional and relaxing challenges for parents. I want you to stop and smell the baby powder…HAHA
So the first challenge I will send out to you, is to really stop and look at your child. This can be in person or in a photograph. I want you to look at their features, and take your time. When we see them all the time we do not really notice that they are changing everyday. Challenge yourself to really take a moment and remember the joy that you felt when you first saw their beautiful face. Think about the way you prayed for them. Think about how God really blessed you with this child and how he continues to bless this child, and you as a parent. I want you to sit and smile, take a few breathes in this moment.
You can do this as a parent, grandparent, future parent, adopted parent, or just with a child in your life. Really relish this moment and try to do this a few times a week. If you are like me, it will let you truly find all the amazing things in your little loves!
Life is so fast paced and we miss out on so many of those little changes. Challenge yourself to reveal in your child for a bit. It might surprise you how you can gain from doing this.
