Busy, Busy as usual. You know why do we make our lives so busy. I laugh when I hear parents say, we had a basketball game 4 nights in a row. They have practice 6 days a week. We haven't been home all week because Suzie has this or Bob has that. Etc. Etc. We have no family time.
We'll just like life is full of choices. You must chose what is important to your family. Spending endless hours in the car, running little Johnny to here and there, sitting at sport activities or making sure your family spends quality time together.
Who am I to talk? I spend so much quality time with my kids I sometimes find myself needing a little less. LOL Yet, I know the time I spend with them will change them forever.
I sometimes wonder what life would be like if my kids were in school. Well, one thing for sure we'd have less family time. I desire for my kids to be influenced by the Holy Spirit and guided by Andy and I , rather than the schools and sports schedules. I often find grounded in the faith families, choose sports over church activities. Yeah, sports can help a child get into a college if they are good enough, but some parents push their children into being something they aren't. When we choose God over all the other "stuff", we must have faith that God will provide for us because of our faithfulness.
I hope I haven't stepped on any toes, these are just the opinions of me. :)

I didn't know you started a blog! Yippee for you! I love blogging. It's great for just being able to write things out. It's also wonderful for keeping in touch with out-of-towners without writing a million of the same emails. And we love being able to put pictures and videos up for out-of-town family. They can copy the pictures, print them, or whatever they like. It saves me from sending out snapshots or emails full of pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnd P.S. I love homeschooling too for all those reasons. I was afraid for a time there that it wasn't God's plan for us. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be home with them, teaching them and enjoying them. And when I came home for the last time from the hospital, I was sooooooo grateful they were at home, not at school or preschool, so I could be with them. I cried many tears over missing being their mom.
