Nov. 5, 2008 - Night Person?
Tonight we had a provoking talk at our church about women being "busy at home", from Titus 2. I especially liked this quote that was read, by Martha Peace:
I have heard of women who pride themselves on being "night people". That means they have trouble getting up in the mornings because they come alive at night. They may stay up till all hours reading, watching television, or pursuing some sort of interest. They next morning they are too tired to get up and care for their family... these women are not "night people". They are lazy and selfish. Who would not rather stay up late to do whatever they please and sleep late the next day? Once a young wife begins getting up earlier than her children and husband, she will cease to be a "night person". She will be tired and go to bed at a reasonable hour so she will be there to serve her family the next morning.

I so wanted to come. We have been busy all week and it will continue. We really needed to be home and get the kids to bed by 7. I am sure I missed some good conversation and wisdom. I do think that some people are naturally morning and night people. Jeff is a morning person and me a night. Although I wouldn't consider myself lazy and selfish. I find it easier to get things done when it is quiet and I don't have to worry about waking the kids in the morning by moving around or having "help". Well it's late and I better get to bed ;)

So true! So very, very true and convicting! I have a Martha Peace book here somewhere, I think I may dig that out - not to read late into the night or anything ;)
Just kidding - I couldn't agree more.

I think you are somewhat correct. Sometimes it is nice to have some quiet time after the kids go to bed, but getting up before everyone does can be more rewarding as I get a jump start on my day!
