We are SO busy, I mean there are no words for how busy we are as a family! We didnt even realize how busy we were (well Paul did)....then we took a weeks vacation in the mountains and we realized just how fast our lives are!
I home school and yet there are days that I don't spend an hour with my older kids, my college age son lives with me and WEEKS go by when I only see him in passing.
These have been blissful days of late mornings, long naps, big breakfast and suppers together at the same table, hours of card games, good books, quiet beaches, tubing down a river, and beautiful long walks in the woods. We have had adventures TOGETHER instead of our own separate adventures and it has been so good.
I want to bring this home with me, I don't want to start going in so many different directions, But life is life and ours includes 4 different jobs, 12 hours of dance lessons, 2 different college schedules and many different church events.
Life IS crazy, but I will do my best to slow down where I can, to not fill every unspoken for min. and to PLAN time together every day, not just wait for it to happen!
Peace does not come naturally in our culture, it has to be worked for.... fought for!
I will fight a little harder this year, now that I have seen what I have been missing!
And may the Peace of God that transends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus our Lord.
