| | I'm trying to see my life as art... it's hard for this unimaginative soul. I miss too much joy, trying so hard to "do the next thing".
I
know that my thinking- my heart is something that I constantly have to
stop and realign. I can get very caught up in getting our chores done,
our math and spelling done... even that Bible lesson - lesson 65 comes
after 64 which comes after 63... And then my children are nothing but
cooperators or annoyances - when they are not cooperating.
It is
very easy to frame such thinking and living in righteous sounding
terms. I am my husband's helpmeet and it is helpful to him if I keep
the house clean and educate our children. I'm helping him in his
calling...
But looking under it all, those are the good things
that often take priority over the best. Those things are definitely
important... doesn't that go without saying?
I've been
forgetting the first G of the three G's of education*. I'm forgetting
WHO GOD IS! What has that got to do with not appreciating my kids for
who they are? EVERYTHING! We need to stop together and remember who God
is and in that we remember who we are. Then everything is a precious
gift!
Then I see my life as art! I see the beauty before the
dust, I see the joy before the character flaws. I see His loving
benevolence to me in my husband and children, in what we learn, in what
we have and even in what I do.
Heavenly Father, help me to
remember who you are, what you hve done and then what you require of
me. Thank you for constantly renewing my mind and heart in Christ
Jesus. AMEN
