I haven’t been able to keep up the house as I so desire . . . it frustrates me to no end! Then I tend to neglect the things which are really more important like spending time with the children, doing memory work, singing together, reading story after story, my patience runs a bit thin and you know how it goes. Today God reminded me about things which are seen and things which are not seen and my priorities. “
While we look not at the things
which are seen,
But at the things
which are not seen.
For the things which are seen
are temporary,
But the things which are not seen
are eternal.
II Corinthians 4:18
Anyway if you come to see us . . . don’t expect everything in it’s place, although I long for that to be the case.
I remember the song “I’ll say ‘Yes, Lord, yes to Your will and to Your way.’ Today my house is a wreck, but I am saying “Yes, Lord, to Your will and way” even if my flesh wants to go in other directions. Pray for me to keep this in mind!

I know the feeling of not being able to get everything done in a day and still spend the time with your children that you'd like. I tend to plop Daryn in his walker, leave Josh to fend for himself, and not put them where they should be on my priority list. Thanks for the reminder of what is really important. I'll try to remember that when I have baskets of laundry to fold, dishes to be washed, supper to be made, baths to give before rushing off to Wednesday night church in less than a peaceful, worshipful frame of mind. God bless you abundantly as you mother your precious little ones. I'll pray for you.
