The Good and Beautiful

I'm not usually a quote sharing kind of person but I read this today and it really spoke to me. I need to be better about focusing on the good and beautiful in my children (and all people) more often.

When we focus on what is good and beautiful in someone, whether or not we think that they "deserve" it, the good and the beautiful are strengthened merely by the light of our attention.

When we choose to see and appreciate what is good and beautiful in our children, the goodness can't help but grow, and their beauty blossoms forth.
