692 Confessions of an Upset Mama! Do I measure up?

Days can be so tough not only on us, but our children. As we gathered in the kitchen, a sweet voice uttered, "Do I measure up?" Goodness gracious! Did a child just ask that question? YES!! It was a sweet little pip squeak, one of mine. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    For a child to ask that question left me gulping, trying to compose myself as how to respond. I wasn't the only one in the room, but with the excitement of the holidays and all the family about, not many people heard. Or should I say the adults didn't hear. Shouldn't children be playing, growing, and learning? The measuring shouldn't come till much later, if at all. Comparison 101 trap in motion. "The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have." ~ Vince Lombardi Easier said than done. We measure who we are to how we perform against others. Now healthy competition is a good thing. But when our thoughts are obsessed by how we "measure up", we're taking it too far! It becomes unhealthy. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Where do you stand? Do you measure yourself against others? Do you measure yourself through God's eyes? Do you measure up? "Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified." ~ Galatians 2:16 When faced with the question, "Do I measure up?", how do you respond? The K.I.S.S. ~ Ask the 2x2! What am I measuring? Who am I measure it for? You are perfection in God's eyes, because He sees you through Jesus.  It's time to answer to the call! TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation Sign-up for The K.I.S.S.E.S.
