A day where all my kids cooperated.
A day we enjoyed our homeschool subjects and the children begged for me to keep reading.
A day I took the time to cook homemade chocolate chip muffins with SJ.
It was a day when I got the laundry and dishes caught up.
I had time to start filling a thrift store box and a bag of trash from our “black hole” that once resembled a laundry room.
I felt accomplished as I stood at my trusty Instapot preparing a yummy soup for dinner.
....and then I glanced at my calendar and quickly realized I had somehow missed an appointment that I had confirmed just the previous day.
That “Oh NO!” feeling hit me. I had let someone down that I had committed to.
I even made the statement, “I thought I was doing what I was supposed to be doing—but I wasn’t.”
The Lord immediately pricked my heart. I WAS doing what I was called to do. Love on my children, teach and train them, provide for our family needs and fill their bellies.
Yes, my heart was pricked and I realized that I had actually let people down when I laid my priorities aside and once again made an outside commitment during my “work time”.
It’s hard to be a homemaker if you are never home.
It’s hard to be a homeschooler if you live in your car.
It’s hard to prepare a home cooked meal if you are always sitting in a drive through line.
You miss living the every day life if you are always in fast forward to the next big thing.
We only get the promise of now. Tomorrow is never to be taken for granted. May we ever live in the JOY of the present with hearts of gratitude.
Blessings sweet friends…
