just a question?!?

The question is why... And isn't that always the question? 

"Why is the sky blue, Why isn't my husband as nice to me as that man is to his wife, Why can't my kids behave like that"...Why, Why, Why!!!

Why do we always ask why.  Is it because we are selfish or just plain curious.

What I notice is that we can never be pleased with what God has given us in life.  Which I think is a problem that I have.  I'm always wondering why.  I feel like God has shown me something today, something very important, something so simple I hardly ever think of doing it.  Why not just stop asking why and enjoy what God has given.  We take things for granted way to much.  What we should be doing is sitting back and soaking in the beautiful sky the Lord has made for us, and look at our spouses good traits and qualities rather than constantly focusing on the bad, and just raising our hands and praising God for giving us the opportunity to raise our children. 

 

My challange to anyone who reads this is to spend the next day in praise of what you've been givin.  Take an extra minute to look at the new flower blooming on the plant outside your house, and look into the eyes of your children and just swim in the everlasting love they give you in their eyes. 

I don't mean to get deep or anything, but this has been waying on my heart all day, and a fight with my husband made me really step back and look at everything I take for granted everyday.

Tonight I made a cake with my daughter Zoe.  After everyone had been served their peice and we were all done she came up to me, hugged me and said "Thank you for making a cake with me."  I almost teared up.  That 30 minutes I spent with her in the kitchen made her whole day, and I can't believe how much I put off this thing or that thing that my girls bring to me everyday with little things like doing the dishes, or the laundry.  In the long run, that stuff just doesn't matter...........

 

Have a great day, and God Bless....

This is so true. Many a day, I don't stop to smell my roses like I should. I sure love them though. I think I too forget to stop and thank the Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.

My name is Lisa, I'm an online friend of your dear MIL. I have 5 dear blessings.

What a simple thing ... but sometimes a hard thing. I've already started today as a hard day with one of my children. Not only did he start on the wrong foot, but that caused him to crash into me, LOL. I will praise the Lord for him, as well as my other children, and do something special with him. Thanks for the challenge! :)

Down in an earlier post (I thought I had set things to get your RSS feed but I guess i didn't, so here i thought you weren't blogging and it turns out I just wasn't reading!!!! But I've fixed it now!) you said: "I must admit, I don't know if I can live up to everything Shurleen has said about me..."

That made me laugh, because I find I can't live up to what she says TO me about me!!! I don't know who she thinks she knows, but she doesn't see me the way I see me! LOL!

I'd love to be able to see things through her eyes for a day.

Oooh, maybe she sees me as thin, too, ha hahahah

Excellent post, Aimee! How did that 40 year old woman get into your 20 year old body?
