I have been looking at my list.  I took care of what had to be done...Well except cleaing out the refrigerator.  I'm hoping one of my children will disobey me tomorrow so I can make the child do it as a punishment.  In our house we sentence to hard labor. 

Anyway,  I got what had to be done and tomorrow there is so much more.  I am torn sometimes with priorities.  I want to stay home and read to the kids all afternoon but things need to be done.  For some reason I'm the one that needs to be doing these things.

If you have seen my house you know that dh and I have the same problem.  So much to do and what suffers is the yard, remodel, washing cars and such.  We do what has to be done and it seem that little time remains for what else needs to be done.

Is this just a season or a lifestyle?  I'm going with a lifestyle because it has always been this way.  Well, as long as we have been involved in a church. 

But I have satisfaction for the moment:  The dishes are done, the laundry is folded and waiting to be put away (quick before Joe comes and unfolds everything with a grin and giggle) I sewed the binding on the baby quilt for my brother's child and now I have the hand stitching left which is one of my favorite parts.

Soooo...what is left on today's to do:  Put the kids to bed, wash up, read the Word and sew.  Ahhhh, now this is good.

God is so good! I'm so blessed, really I am. I have a home, family and church.  I have my savior, hope and love. What do I lack?  Nothing.  What do I desire? Only that others would know this life.  That they might be saved.  No, not so they can all do housework and sew.  But so there purpose can be found in Him.  That joy can be found in life as it is.  That they would love, have hope and serve the Lord while praying for others to do the same.  High ideals...

I need to remember that my life is about what I get to do, not what have to do.

Bedtime for kiddos...  Ahhh, this is good!
