Attitude

This year I am “leading” our local homeschool support group. During the summer, as I prayed about the first meeting in August, my daughter created an “Attitude.” After seeing this little pillow-type creation, I knew that every homeschooling mom would need one!

With my daughter’s help, I sorted through all my scrap material and began making Attitudes. At the meeting in August, I asked each woman in attendance to pick one. (In my next post, I’ll tell you how to make your own Attitude.) I then explained what an Attitude is…

Attitudes can be just about any color, so you can match your homeschooling area, or choose your favorite color. You’ll want to keep your Attitude with your homeschooling books, and then each day “check” your Attitude (one side is happy, one side isn’t so happy). Check to be sure you have the right Attitude showing.

Homeschooling takes a G.O.D. attitude. Without this proper attitude you will…

…lose your joy. Express your Gratitude for your children, your husband, your Savior, and your opportunity to homeschool.

…burn out. Be Open and willing to share God with your children as well as with other moms.

…lose focus. You need Diligence to run the race set before you (Heb. 12:1).

Gratitude. Openness. Diligence. These should be part of your G.O.D. attitude this year. Having a bad day? Check your Attitude! Don’t complain and think God is punishing you. He loves you! Look to Him and judge your circumstances—what is He trying to teach you? Don’t look at your circumstances and judge God. “Flip” your Attitude!
