The Golden Rule

As each year whisks by, I am reminded of just how much my children have grown. I see them everyday and watch them discover new things. I enjoy conversations on everything from the proper steps in cooking our favorite dinners to why tigers have stripes. I am amazed at how little I've become to know about the simplicity of life and living when I view my life through the eyes of my children.




I have always prayed that my children would not only love the Lord God with all of their heart and soul, but that they would live a life that reflected that. I pray that they instinctively put others before themselves and reach out to help others in need. My mother taught me this as a child and it has been one of the best gifts I could have ever received as a child. At seven years old, Isaiah has already started showing this quality and I am so thankful and blessed to be his Mother (not to mention honored & proud).





Isaiah's first week of school has been a successful one. He loves his teacher and enjoys his classmates. He comes home and is elated to see his sisters and tell them all about his day. He is a teacher and protector by nature. So, he's always trying to show Laura Ellen how to do things instead of doing it for her, I think he enjoys seeing the accomplishments of others and celebrating with them. The first afternoon I picked him up from school I was going through the paperwork from his folder and pulled out a sheet that read, "Wimberly Worried". Isaiah quickly described the assignment on the first day of school and he wrote down the things he was most worried about...he, was on the bottom of the list.  I like the way he makes his bed before going to school this year and how he neatly folds the pages of one of his favorite chapter books, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." He's meticulous about certain things and likes order and organization. He is such a loving, giving, generous, caring, compassionate, selfless little boy, and I am so blessed to be his Mommy.
