*Organized Chaos*

Mar. 26, 2007 - Organized Chaos

After discovering that our family consists of soon-to-be six children, people ask what it's like at our house. I like to tell them that it's very much like *organized chaos*. Let me tell you why...
Chaos is defined, by Webster in 1828, as "any mixed mass, without due form or order." And organized is defined as "systemized." Our home, on most days, looks as if it is without form or order, when in reality we are very systematic in the way our main parts, each family member, are connected, so as to form one whole unit, our family.
Our home runs smoothly, due to the fact that each part of the whole unit knows his or her place and position and acts according to what is required of them. Daddy is the head of the home, both spiritually and physically (1 Corinth. 11:3,7) - He loves, provides, protects, leads, and makes the decisions . Mommy is the heart and keeper of the home (Titus 2:4,5) - She nurtures, guides, teaches, and loves, all the while making sure the matters of the home run smoothly. Our children are the feet (Eph. 6:1-3) - They scurry about growing, playing and learning, all the while obeying our every command (sometimes not so heartily).
As parents we believe that we are to teach and train our children and have taken this literally. I am a homeschooling mom who loves having my children home with me. My children and I do most everything together, from morning 'til night. They are a part of my everyday tasks... They help with the meals, cleaning and taking care of the smaller ones, as much as they are capable at their young age. They are somewhat like shadows... They are always around. I love it!!

Posted by lovinthosebunnies4Him

my children are always around----and....I LOVE IT!!! Only a homeschooler could say that, mean that, and really relate to someone else who says that. What a wonderful blessing to have all of our children around all the time. I love them so much. They are so much fun to be with--Especially my 24 and 21 year old young adults; the 15 year old teen ager; and the 9 and 7 year old littles. What a joy to be blessed with.....controlled chaos, constant chatter, ideas, laughter, activity, etc. but also, quiet times together and working side by side without words. I so LOVE your postings and can relate to your heart. drop by my blog sometimes........just passin through....

With all of the toys, books and school stuff filling our home, it tends to looks as if it is void of any order. In reality we are very systematic in the way our main parts (each family member) are connected, so as to form one whole unit (our family), thus creating "organized chaos".
