The kids had a lot of fun making parachutes and sending them over their bunk beds!
"If there is one thing I could encourage every mommy blogger or work-at-home mom out there to remember, it is this: anyone can be a pretty good blogger or pretty good business owner, but there is only one person who is mommy to your children and wife to your husband. Don’t let all the good things out there take precedence over the best things. You only have one life to live–make it count!" Crystal Paine, author of www.biblicalwomanhoodblog.blogspot.com
I read this quote a couple of days ago....and it is just one of those quotes (that will join a few others) that will be burned in my brain for good! There are so many "good things" out there...but they often become little more than a distraction that keeps me from doing what is MOST important...the job that only I can do best! I was so thankful for this timely warning and encouragement... on this "hike" called life I was starting to poke around the bushes and eat the berries while my kids and hubby were pushing forward on the trail without me. And while the berries have been tasting good,there are times when I have missed out on something much more wonderful...sweet fellowship, laughter and friendship with my dear, precious family! What an honor it is to be Bryan's wife and Micah, Grace, Faith and Titus' mommy and God has seen fit to give that job to me and no one else...may He find me faithful!!!!
"So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
