Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Looking for God in My Day

Posted in God Spotting

I'm trying to look for God's hand in my day more.  I know He's there, but I'm not very careful at seeing his handiwork in my life, especially during a regular busy day.  So today I saw Him:

I've been using a daily prayer chart for the kids for years -- some times better than others.  Today I prayed for generosity for the boys, which was timely because DH mentioned to me on his way out the door, "Hugs needs to work on not being selfish today."  Tonight, as I was putting Giggles down, he wanted a puppy dog to cuddle.  He doesn't have one.  I started to tell him that we could as Smiley for one, when Hugs runs in with one of his puppies.  Right there!  He just gave one to Giggles.  When I talked with Giggles later on and that I'd prayed for him to be generous, he said, "Hmm, I guess I was twice today.  Once with the puppy, once with Smiley when he wanted to play with one  of my planes."

Life is all about baby steps and I'm thankful for God's presence in this little movement forward.

About Me

We are a Christian family educating our 3 boys: Hugs (8), Smiley (5), and Giggles (2). We've chosen to use mostly classical homeschooling methods, though this could change as the Lord leads us. I've started this blog because I have wanted to journal about our homeschooling experience, and life in general, but it is nearly impossible to sit with paper and pen. So, I'll write about where the Lord is leading our homeschool, how we're doing with it, and other bits about life with 3 boys. (Yes, I realize that my boys will hate their online monikers in a few more years!)
