Sometimes I think that just getting dressed and making it through the day is all I ever accomplish. "Isn't there something more that you wanted me to do today, Lord?" Finally , I hear that still, small voice. I may not have found a cure for cancer or conquered world hunger, but as I soak in my tub, God gently reminds me of what I did accomplish today. I had the privilege of listening to the hopes and dreams of a handsome young man who thinks I'm the greatest woman in the world. He stands just over three feet tall and only gets really excited over Lego's and pizza, but he is funny, charming, and never boring. Author-Ginger Plowman (from her book, "Heaven at Home")
God kindly reminded me of this pg. in her book. I have been struggling with grumbling and complaining a lot the last three days. Quick to anger with the boys (Ben and Char) and quick to look around and see all that isn't done or things that are done that shouldn't be. I am so thankful for a God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Psalm 86:15) May this truth pierce my heart today and may I rejoice that God has not only given me four blessings and a wonderful husband but He has taken care of my greatest need by sending his one and only Son to die on a cross for my wretched sins....Thank you Lord Jesus!!

Sara ~ thank you so much for writing this post...it encourage me to pray for God to help realign my thoughts and attitudes about this life and how what we do on this side of heaven truly has eternal value...even if it's just cheerfully addressing a moment of sibling rivalry, giving a kid at recess an extra pat of the back for his football-throwing skills, kindly greeting a corworker even when they may not be the friendliest person in the world, or placing that tithe in the basket when there's no money left to go out to lunch with friends after church. God sees everything, knows everything and is very pleased with you Sara. He loves you so much and rejoices over you as you take one day at a time to love and care for your little ones...even when it seems that all you may accomplish some days is simply getting ready for the day, making breakfast/lunch/dinner and chasing after your kids all day!! love you so much!
I love you Sis.
amen-great reminder!
Thanks Sara for the reminder.
I was reminded of this very thing this A.M. and asking God to give me any oppurtunity that this day may bring, to Tahnk Him, as well as share in His kindness toward me.
I was blessed with just that.. Not 15 min's after i opened a gal walked in that i had not seen in year's, and to hear her life and all that she has been through..
I had just been remenishing over thing's, over the last few day's with school starting, seeing the hustle and bustle of all the Mom's trying to get last minute thing's and being reminded of the time I as well, was there.. This particular Gal came to mind..
I knew this was for a reason, and asked for her number.. I knew God was allowing me the privaledge to pray for her..
I love you Sara, and i will pray for you..
Love Mom
