It is Sunday afternoon, and I am sitting here at my laptop savoring a rare time of quiet in my home. My husband is getting ready for evening church, and Emily is playing on the sly in her room (she's supposed to be napping, but since she hasn't napped in at least a month, I'll take the quiet playing!!). I decided to hop on my laptop with the goal of getting some schoolwork prepared for tommorrow and the coming week. Once on, though, I decided it was my chance to explore some sites I've been wanting to look at and do some research I've been interested in on homeschooling.
Anyway...
I just read something on another pastor's wife's blog that made me want to cry.
She said she was complaining recently to the oldest lady in her church about all the things she needed to do that day and hadn't gotten done, and the lady, whose children are all grown and long since left home, responded with this:
"Someday you'll be walking around your house looking for something to clean, because nothing will be dirty."
God, help me to CONSTANTLY see the awesome beauty in the life I have... the incredible privilege I have to care for a husband and a daughter. Wake me up to the joy of my everyday life.
Truly, I am blessed.
