There is the lesson of grace and understanding as you wait for someone who is using coupons to extend the value of their money to spend on groceries to cover more by paying for them with coupons to defray the cost of some items. You learn grace and understanding. And you extend that grace to the other shopper via the patience you also learned.Vera Godleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511948370346834218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-66867019041669877082013-05-18T16:58:57.811-04:002013-05-18T16:58:57.811-04:00I enjoyed reading the teachable moments section fo...I enjoyed reading the teachable moments section for adults that described the inspiration for her book's message including stories about how she teaches her kids about consequences of their choices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642420373090229348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-26651568146296731902013-05-18T16:53:04.300-04:002013-05-18T16:53:04.300-04:00I think there are everyday lessons in waiting.

We just couldn't decide which one to buy her so we waited. Come Christmas morning, she was very disappointed because it was the only thing she asked for. We decided to shop after Christmas and she found a completely different one and she LOVES it. It was hard for her to wait, but she's happy she did!Tami Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639746358995156011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-22995646094880679522013-05-08T19:09:00.608-04:002013-05-08T19:09:00.608-04:00I found the input regarding saying 'NO' in...I found the input regarding saying 'NO' interesting. We've heard this for so many years that it has kind of become cliche & also our excuse for not doing things we just don't want to. I think what I've always learned about saying 'NO' is that it's okay to say 'no' when we're stretched too thin. But the resounding message always seemed to be that we should say 'no' so that we would have more time for ourselves. I like this new thought that perhaps we should say 'no' to some things because God has better things in mind for us.GeorgiaBeckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827682435912608823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-39680628511200323192013-05-08T19:01:34.124-04:002013-05-08T19:01:34.124-04:00https://www.facebook.com/IdealsBooks/posts/4605067...https://www.facebook.com/IdealsBooks/posts/460506704038339GeorgiaBeckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827682435912608823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-21032351071769734692013-05-06T09:01:30.325-04:002013-05-06T09:01:30.325-04:00this book sounds like it would be perfect for my d...this book sounds like it would be perfect for my daughter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076666045819266290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-66655799407553081892013-05-04T21:15:39.524-04:002013-05-04T21:15:39.524-04:00I shared a greeting on Ideals Books.

My children know this and sometimes whine for ice cream earlier in the week. Once there was a big tantrum so I showed them how to make ice cream when we got home. Since I did not have the right materials (besides rock salt) it did not turn out very well so from then on they were happy to wait until Friday.Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928381603385856463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-50572548771588578072013-05-02T09:58:08.655-04:002013-05-02T09:58:08.655-04:00We have been trying to teach our toddler to sleep ...We have been trying to teach our toddler to sleep in his own bed, and I read an article in Parenting Magazine saying that if you read them a story in bed, then get them to wait for you to go complete little chores, they fall asleep while you are gone.
