time , priorities, and i don't do it all!

I almost lost thought on what I was trying to get at in my last post! In the last couple days I tryed to regather my thoughts on this. Here's what i cam up with.

If your struggling with feeling like you need to "do it all" but you just can't, then don't!! :)
There, how do you like that for some great words of wisdom!!!

There seems like theres always pressure around us as parents. Theres so much out there to offer our kids, and they're all very good things ( or I am sure most is). But you just can't "do it all" and still keep your sanity, aleast I can't. So you make your priorities for your family and relax!

And I don't do it all! I keep up with the kids school, house work, cooking, shopping and so on. Thats about it!! We do like to meet with our local home school group on weekly park days which I work in with my shopping day. A new thing for us is volunteering at our local nursing home for an hour or so once a week. The kids love that!!

One of my top priorities is that we all have family evening meals together and that we read together before bed-time. ( I usually read a story or two out of a "good" book we are currently reading, and in the children's Bible book)

Oh something I failed to add in last post is that moms don't do everything all by them selves. For one thing there's wonderful hubby's helps with little ones , running errands, and running children to activities. And there's the older children that help out tremendously!!

What does God think of all that moms and families try to cram into their days and lifes? Well I wouldn't know. Every family has to answer that one on their own I guess.

I do think we need to be careful that we don't get caught up to much in the cares of this world, that we loose fouces of the reason we are here. We are here as servants of God, to live our lives pleasing to God, and to reach others for Him. Remember also that its no longer, "I that liveth, but God that lives in us". ( sorry I can not think of the Bible reverence for that at the moment)


Well it seems I again have lost my thought here!! Sorry! I will think on it it some and if I come up with somthing good I will share it, but if not I won't!! :)
