Ten Things my Mom Taught Me

1. Relationships are important.
2. Reading is a life-long joy and door to discovery.
3. Practice hospitality- "God gave us everything we have to share."
4. Be kind to people who have to serve you in their jobs. Make their job easier.
5. It is enough to be clean and neat. (Still working on this one).
6. How to cook.
7. Respect people from different backgrounds.
8. Celebrations are important. Birthdays, traditions, & holidays matter.
9. Be available to serve others.
10. Enjoy God.

This woman is the most patient person I know. I can say I've been taught but not entirely that I've learned. She's a lot to aspire to.

Love your lists! And I can see they taught you well - you reflect these things in many ways.
