The Busy Hum of Life

It has a busy and full week! Every day practically there has been somewhere to go. I have an over flowing plate. Thus, we scramble on only for me to be reminded "less is more" sometimes! With a new homeschooling co-op, childrens gym classes/soccer, finishing up the final touches on our new home, packing, and getting involved with church ministrys it sometimes feels like I am actualy burning calories just by going throughout the day but I am trying to see the good in it and keep up with my kiddos...whew, I am starting to feel old some days LOL.

As I sit here in the complete darkness and still of the evening tonight--I am filled with a sense of contentment in our busy and full schedule. It reminds me that we are in the prime of our family-hood and that each busy day brings a blessing, a chance to interact with strangers and to witness Christ's Love. A lesson blooms from a totally unexpected event and my children are captivated. Busy, for right now in our lives, is okay.

As spring and summer approach the turn of events will slow down and I will welcome that, too. I'll be ever so happy for nowhere to go and to dig my toes in sand.....Warmer weather brings a whole new pallette of places to go and things to do but just in different paces...

God, Please help me to be satisfied in the busy hum of events that this winter has brought. Thank You Lord for laying on my heart the conviction to homeschool my sweet boys. Help me to be ready to teach my children life lessons out of anything that transpires and help me to be filled with Your holiness and mercy.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven {Ecclesiastes 3:1}
