A personal note

When I started this blog, I had in mind it was my outlet for all my thoughts and feelings and happenings etc. Sometimes life isn't perfect. It is all of God's unconditional love that sees me through and gives me life. When I feel like all I do all day is laundry, cleaning, putting things away, cooking dinners and reading books to my kids I wonder if that is productive enough for my family and/or God. These are things that go unnoticed and unappreciated until one of them doesn't get done. Then It's all my fault because I failed at the only job I do when I thought I did it fairly well. I will fail. I'm human! There is always something else to do and I can't keep up with everything all the time. If I don't get to something one day I will the next or even within hours I will finish it. Sometimes I get tired and prioritize the last thing on my list for the next day.
Teaching my kids responsibilites can be a challange, but when they learn and realize why they are doing these household chores, the blessing is watching them clean up because they genuinely want to help. Kids identify with accomplishment and praise and .....so do adults!

I pulled my hamstring at the last softball game so God had put my running on hold. Hopefully I will make the September 1/2 marathon.

Moms: Don't give up when you think you have failed someone, Keep sending out acts of kindness to all (especially those close to you) because eventually it will come back to you!
