Always Stay Humble and Kind

 
 
If you have not heard Tim McGraw's new song "Humble and Kind" I highly recommend listening to it. I absolutely love it!
 
I really listened to this song the other day, and ever since I have been
thinking about how I hope my son will always be humble and kind.
 
 
I was in 9th grade and my seminary teacher was talking about this family he knew.
He said they were a family full of girls, and the girls were all very pretty but they
were also very nice. He said he asked their mother how they raised the
girls to be so humble.
The answer has always stuck with me, and I still think about it often.
 

"You are no better than anybody, and nobody is better than you."

 
When I heard this song it made me think of this, and how I want Grayson
to always know that.
Even if he is the best at something, I hope he will always be humble about it.
I hope he will always be respectful to everyone.
I hope when someone treats him poorly he will take the high road and still
be kind to them. I hope he will always spend his time making others feel like they are worth something and never making them feel like they are not.
 

"Hold the door, say please, say thank you
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you have mountains to climb but
Always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride but
Always stay humble and kind"

 
I hope he will know it is okay to be friends with people who are different than him, who have different beliefs than him. I hope he can respect others opinions and know
their opinion matters just as much as his does. I hope he will always keep
an open mind.
 
I hope he will always be honest with his feelings and never be afraid to say how he feels.
I hope he knows when something bothers him it is okay to say it, but always in a respectful way.
I hope he is just a good boy, but what mother does not want her son to grow up to be a good man? ;)
 
I hope he will always work hard for whatever he wants, and never take advantage of
anything or anyone.
 

"Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick up line so
Always stay humble and kind"

 
I hope he always knows his mom and dad will always be in his corner.
Especially when he is a teenager and thinks we do not know anything.
Let's face it, we were all there once. ;)
 
Happy Sunday everyone!
