My Boundry Lines




Psalm 16:5-6

"The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance."




Today was a really good day with the kids. It wasn't without sin and temptations but I was able to see the grace of God at work in me and in them. I decided not to shower until I had a free moment where I wouldn't be tempted to be angry with the kids for getting into things while I was showering. (come on now...their 5, 3, 2 and 7 months, their gonna get into things, right?) So, we played, sang songs, went to walmart (in my pj's) had a picnic lunch outside, did a little school and cleaned the house. I was able to enjoy the kids and not rush through the day being "inconvenienced" by them. Thank you Lord for 4 gifts and for the wonderful boundary lines you have placed around me. I truly do have a beautiful inheritance.

Sar ~ You are one to be admired and looked up to for the choices you are making on a day to day basis in loving/serving your children, purposefully excercising thankfulness, and abiding in His grace. Thank you for your example. Love you sooo much! ~ Liz
