which is quite often, I refer to this poem I have written in my notebook (author unknown) and it really helps my perspective. (And my patience) I hope it helps you when you are down as much as it has me.
There are little feet that follow
In my footsteps every day
Their little voices echo
So much of what I say.
Sometimes I'm not too happy
With all the things I see
Then I begin to realize
That they're imitating me
My patience seems to falter
And I speak with too much haste -
Til I hear the Saviour speaking
When I look into each face.
Oh Lord, please grant me wisdom
As I train each little one,
Help me set a good example
As You yourself have done.
I would not ask for riches
Or that they famous be
But may each find Christ as Saviour
And live each day for Thee.
