This morning was one of those mornings. You know, one of those mornings youd like to forget. It was 7:30 as I sat down to breakfast with my four girls and I had planned to read to them the Bible during this meal as they would pay better attention. It had worked yesterday. I get not two verses and someone doesnt like her eggs, another verse, and someone wants more juice, another two verses and someone needs to use the potty. I feel myself getting tense as I remind them that they should not interrupt while I am reading. Another couple of verses and my eldest announces that shed like more cinnamon toast and this is where I lost it. I start thinking that mornings are the most difficult time here. I am trying to get the girls fed and the younger three dressed, teeth brushed, hair brushed and the eldest to do her chores and be ready to start her lessons. I draw on scriptures I know to be reassured that I am following Gods plan for mornings. Quite time? Check. Prayer? Check. Well, I wonder, what is the problem then? God tells me to see what else he has to say about mornings, so to His Word I turn. Turns out He has quite a bit to say as morning is mentioned 218 times and there are 10 occurrences of dawn. |

Sometimes I wonder why does it have to be so difficult? But, I also wonder if Satan picks at me thru all the little interruptions-maybe so I'll just give up?
