Day 98: Children

I had one of those thoughts that was so new, I knew it hadn't come from myself. It sounds like something I should already know, but I thought of it in a new way. It was this: "Each of my children is a gift." Now, of course, I know that, but what I mean is that each one was given to me for a different purpose, to teach me something I need to know, to help me in some way. They were not sent to my home so much because of what I can give to them, but of what they can give to me. They were not sent because of what I could help them become, but for what they could help me to become. I am humbled to see my life in this perspective. I am even more grateful to my children for their desire, as spirits, to come and help me.
