What Did My Child(ren) Learn from Me Today?

by Julie Creasy

Did they learn how to stop and take time to pray,
Or to eat on the run and hurry to play?
Did they learn to be patient, understanding and kind,
Or to jump to conclusions, pass judgment so blind.
Did they learn to trust God—their troubles to bear,
Or to needlessly worry and fret without prayer?
Did they learn to be helpful, considerate and content,
Or to constantly complain and waste time spent?
Did they see me open my Bible to read,
Or was the newspaper all that I seemed to need?
Did they learn by my example to live God’s way?
Just what did my children learn from me today?
