time , priorities, and doing it all

Have you ever wished for more hours in a day?
I have countless times!!
Some days there just seems there so much to do and not enough hours to do it. It happens so often to me.
But God only created 24 hour days. So i guess he must of felt that was all the time we needed to get every thing done. So if more hours in a day is not the answer, then I would guess that we must be trying to do more than we should in a day.

This kind of goes with my last post of moms and their many roles they play. Just keeping up with basic duties of mom keep most running all day.

Theres homeschooling, cooking, house cleaning, keeping the laundry done, grocery shopping, keeping doctor and dentist appointments, tending little ones. That in its self is a full time job!! Actually enough to keep 2 or 3 going full time in my opinion!!

But that's not even all we moms do. Then there's sports, music lessons, swim lessons, boy scouts, dance lessons, karate lessons , co-op, volunteering, play-dates, and home school park days to keep up with!!

But your not done yet mom, theres more pulling your time. Theres e-mailing, face-booking, blogging, bills to pay,, ect..

Overwhelmed yet?

But were still not done ! We have left off the most inportian thing that you can possible accomplish in a day!

Family devotions, and morning and evening at that!!

But there's just no way one mom can possible keep up with all of that. She either is going to be stretched so very thin that shes going crazy or something is going to get the slack. Thats just the way it is. ( And so sadly it seems that family devotions are the first to go)

So then i guess thats where priorities come in at. Every family has to set their own priorities for their family. What means the very most to them. And fouces on those things and let other things go.

Now back to where I started on this. Its my thinking we may be trying to cram in to much into our days, and into our lives and kids lives. It could just be that God did not even intend us to live as we do, and do all the things we do.

But there's pressure all around us , for us to accomplish as much as we possible can, and that our children can experience everything they possible can. And that all of this will give them better advantage in life.
But what does God think?

Anyway it seems I have to much for one post so I will continue on this subject in later posts. That will give me time to regather my thoughts! :)

In the mean time I would love to hear from others on this.
I would love to hear how you handle it all.
