   I like this painting.

   I like he small child sitting behind his pregnant Mother, he is almost ‘lost’ to the observer in the painting– but there he sits, exposed to a Faith being lived via the example of his Mother.

   It is easy to give direction… to verbalize our expectations to our children.
   It is harder to teach them, to be an example to them… To listen and be patient. But it is in the teaching and being an example that the real learning done.

   I have been guilty of the first type. I want to parent in the style of the second; it seems when I try to teach and be an example my relationships with my children go better and I feel better about my role as a Dad.
