You'll Be Wishing

Sometimes we all need to hear the words to this poem, don't we? Let it truly break through our spirits and day to day routines. Enjoy! These really are the best days of our lives!

Do not worry, little mother
If there are tracks upon your floor
Years go by and you'll be wishing
You could see those tracks once more.

There won't be much satisfaction
Looking back along the way,
Though we kept our house all shining-
If we scolded every day.

Yes I know that little garments
Sadly torn and out of place
Make it hard for tired mother;
Hard to wear a smiling face.

They will leave their home nest shortly;
Some may fly to foreign lands-
Then your house will be in order
But you will sit with empty hands.

So let us all enjoy each minute
Of these lovely childhood days;
Just forget the dust that gathers;
And enjoy their childish ways.

Yesterday they were but babies,
Now they're with us for awhile
But tomorrow they'll be going-
Send them onward with a smile!

~Anon.

Excuse This House

Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact

That children shelter there,

Ours boasts it quite openly,

The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,

Little smudges are on the doors

I should apologize, I guess

For toys strew on the floor.

But I sat down with my child

And we played and laughed and read

And if the doorbell doesn’t shine,

His eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I’m forced to choose

The one job or the other,

I’d like to cook and clean and scrub,

But first I’ll be a mother.

Cell Phone vs. the Bible

I came across this little poem today and thought I would share it! Its such a funny little poem but it speaks a lot of truth! As I am trying to incorporate more Bible time in my daily life and make it priorty for my children as well I think about this concept of cell phone vs. the Bible and realize my cell phone is actually more important to me then I realize. Before cell phones were so popular, people would struggle with just regular phones calls interrupting meal times, reading, or family gatherings. I think it's time I put my phone in the other room for awhile and forget about it! :-)


Cell Phone vs. the Bible




I wonder what would happen if we treated the bible like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back when we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

This is something to make you go...hmmmm...where is my bible?

Oh, and one more thing, we don't ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!
