1. Today, I will make our home a house ofprayer. I will pray at set times. And I will invite our children to come moveinto an interior space that lives with God.
2. Today, I will transfigure all thingsinto beauty, and I will refuse to see anything else.
3. Today, I will not have anyemergencies. There are no emergencies!Only amateurs hurry.
4. Today, when stress mounts, I pray todismount it with gratitude. My stress management plan will be intervention withverbal thanks. I can only feel one feeling at a time, and I choose to givethanks at all times. Fight feeling with feeling!
5. Today, I will pray to speak words thatare only STRONG words, words that make these children feel strong. Grace words.Grace is the only non-toxic air. All other words I breathe are death words.
6. Today, I will pray to be consistentlyconsistent. I will create safe rhythms that our children can find security in.I will create daily ceremonies because everyday we are CELEBRATING the gift ofnow!
7. Today, the moment when I am mostrepelled by a child's behavior, that is my sign to draw the very closest tothat child.
8. Today, I will hug each of my childrenas many times as I serve them meals -- because children's hearts feed on touch.I'll look for as many opportunities to touch my children today as possible ---the taller they are, the more so.
9. Today, my priorities will be allThings Unseen.
10. Today, I will laugh! And I will letthe little children laugh! I will create a culture of JOY!
