My friend at work shared this with me and I love it. It is applicable for kids and adults alike!
"YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DON'T THROW A FIT"
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have [its] perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:2-4
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Phil 4:6-7
- I will say this at dinner time to the kids
- I will say this (to myself) at 4:30am when my 2 year old is ready to face the day, loudly
- I will say this (to myself) when I am grumpy about work, with husband, with the state of the economy, the elected President of the U.S. etc. etc. etc.

God is good...all the time. And I love my new mantra!
