That is something I've said quite often around these parts lately.
I've known before how great it feels to finally potty train my kids or teach them to ride their bikes. But now I feel a sense of something greater. I had a chance just the other day to teach Kayley a lesson straight from the Bible about our attitudes. I read to her Phillipians 2:5 which says "Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus." Then I made her write it after I gave her the the dotted letters to follow. Once she memorized it I had her hang it on the door to her room. Since then we have been referring to the "verse on the door" when the attitude comes creeping in. It totally works! I love it, not because of anything I've done but because of the Word of God that made its way into Kayley's heart. And the best thing of all is that I too have been aware of my own attitudes and sometimes I have to refer to the "verse on the door!"
