If we left everyday at 7:00 am to drop children off at daycare so that I could be at work by 8:00 and then picked them up around 6:00 pm, drove through a take-out joint for dinner and threw away the trash each evening then I think I might have a clean house on a regular basis.
But then again, I remember how wonderful it is to hear Butch and Sundance's voices playing in the playroom, laughing in delight at each other and how sweet it is to tuck a chocolate faced Toddler into bed for a nap. I remember how planning and fixing dinner makes me happy and how hearing the garage door open each night as Honey returns home brings me thrills . I remember how nice it is to be able to visit with The Grandfather whenever we want. I remember how I love to sit at the park and watch them play with their friends at 10:00 in the morning. I remember how I love it when Sister calls me on her way home and wants a school report. I love that my Brother, who can get off in the week, wants to spend it with his nephews.
Thanks you God for the little things that make each day special and thank you for reminding me that these are important.
AMEN!! Well said! I agree whole heartedly.
