But...

As a mom I find myself wanting to use that word often - but.  My child might not excel in sports but...  My child might not do well in math but...  I might not be good at ____________ (you fill in the blank) but...


I recently read an article by a mother of 14 children.  She spoke of the uniqueness of each of her children and how God created them that way.  (Yeah, I agree!)  Then it went on to talk of a son who did not have a big interest in math BUT read his history book from cover to cover.  Another child was slow in reading BUT excels at figuring out extremely hard problems in math.  What if your child doesn't have a BUT?

What if you don't have a BUT?  What does that say about you, about your child?  Do we need BUTs?

I don't believe we do.  It's okay to just BE!

(I have to admit that I am laughing so hard right now.  Why does our language have homophones?)

Just Being,
