Preaching to yourself

I know I already posted, but I felt lead to share this. Has any one else out there had to talk to one of your kids(or any kid for that matter) and by the time your done God has pointed out not only how to help them in their error, but now somehow you have preached to yourself as well? I laughed at that this morning, then humbly prayed and asked God to help me with what I had just previously told my eldest son...God is good like that, but we must be receptive to His instruction, live it, don't just talk it.
