The Lord's Room Homeschool:Abeka & MUS-Delta

Oct. 6, 2005 - All our time is free time?

The quote on my Kinkade calendar today says, "The truth is that by definition all our time is free time, ours to spend or invest as we choose." That puts it into perspective, doesn't it?

Personally, I don't chart out my time hour by hour. Not being in corporate America any more, my daytimer is past history. When I tossed it out I lost 5 lbs of stress just like that! I tend to do what I like, that's why my dishes are sitting in the sink still dirty and I'm sitting on the computer! My husband would disagree, he would say that he has to work and that he'd rather be golfing. But deep down he knows how fulfilling his work is and how important it is for him to be responsibe and set an example for the children. I, on the other hand, don't have a job, but I don't feel guilty either. Homeschooling is a big part of my life, but it doesn't consume all my time. I feel writing is important, so I blog and that takes a lot of time. I cut coupons and shop for bargains in order to be a good steward and my husband definitly appreciates that! The things that I say I don't have the time for, like going to the gym, or the dentist, or reading my bible every day, are just excuses because I'd rather be doing something else for sure! I just know how to keep myself busy. If my husband stayed at home instead of working, he'd be bored within 2 hours! But like the quote states, it's all about choices. I believe the Holy Spirit convicts us when we aren't using our time wisely. And if we ignore that still small voice long enough, it will go away and we can have stress and worry lines to prove it. Ask for that voice to return today and get back on track. It's not too late to make better use of your time.

Oct. 8, 2005 - AMEN!

Our time IS 'free time'! It would make SO many folks' lives easier, most especially homeschool moms if they'd take that to heart--to only serve God, no worldly standards to measure up to n so on.
Thanks for sharing!
