Value

"Proud parents of two honor students". Okay, I could legitimately put this on a bumper sticker and slap it on the mom van, but never would I ever!  It doesn't matter that the world knows we have 2 smart kids. We were pretty proud of them being Board Scholars and keeping such good grades. Of course we would be proud of that, but I am so much prouder of the character I see developing in them. I am prouder of the way they value friendships and family members, their teachers, coaches, and pastors. They value people! I think that is so much more honorable than getting stellar grades. If the world learns anything about my kids, I hope it will be through the kindness they show to others, not their accomplishments. And as much as I'd love to take credit for their smarts, it's all God!! He has big things in store for our girls. I just get to watch them happen.
