leafed in Ponderings

As I sit here I am trying to think of something very profound or something cute or something that will make you think..... but this blog is about our family life and sometimes life is just that life. It is not always cute, it is not always profound and amazing sometimes it is just that  ~ Life. I try to spend a small amount of time everyday reading my friends blogs and leaving little comments to encourage or just saying a little something to bring them a smile, because who knows. They maybe having a day like I had,they may need a smile as I might have. Sometimes we just live and go from day to day with life just happening and we wonder where the time went?

This week was just one of those weeks,life was busy and I wasn't able to leave as many comments to encourage as I wanted, or post as much as I wanted. What did I do this week, nothing much in my eyes. I schooled , Took a day off to decorate the house with the girls, cooked, cleaned, bought groceries, a couple christmas presents. I did a million things it seems but I look back and the clean laundry from Wednesday is still on the couch, there are still dishes beside the sink (not wednesdays though ;)  ) the floors still need to be washed. the list goes on and I wonder what did I do?

I have to remember at these times that what I am doing is more important then what didn't get done. What I do in God's eyes far out weighs anything I do in mans. So although it may seem I did not get as much accomplished in my eyes or the worlds, I must remember the look in my childrens eyes as we decorated the kitchen and the deight in their face as we discussed why we celebrate Chirstmas. I remember the snuggle on the couch and the good-night kiss. I remember cuddling with my sweetheart and the words of love spoken in this house this week. I think on the other hand that I may have done more then I thought......

As long as I try to bring a smile to my Lords face, I think He will be pleased and I think that may be the most important thing!
