Uh-oh

Well my kids are great to sort and start their laundry. I am so proud. But today the good deed claimed one of them. Yep! Justin washed and dried our house/his phone.
He prayed over it and it vibrated! He continued praying, but the vibrating ceased and now the phone has passed on to where most electronics go, "the trash".
So now we are in need of a phone. Mostly for the house. Justin is home most days, and only takes it out if he knows we will be great distances apart, like church. LOL
He is so upset. Oh the little things in life that make us sad.

Why so serious?

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. :)
