When we moved into our new house it came with a Beam central vacuum system. Oh my stars~ I love... love... love it. I can plug that super sucker up in any room and clean up any and all messes. It is like having the power of a car wash vacuum to clean my floors. It is the greatest for wood floors and picking up after our little Corgi~who just happens to shed a new fur coat each and every day. It makes cleaning so easy and fast. I just didn't know what I was missing. I can assure I never want to be without one again.
It sort of reminds me of my early days as a young wife and mother. I was so busy trying to keep all the plates spinning that I neglected my time with the Lord often. Oh~ I would pray all day as I rushed through my day but was just too busy much of the time to really spend time connecting with the super power.
I just didn't know what I was missing. As I begin to start spending the time I needed with God each morning searching for His wisdom and help something began to happen. God begin to help me control my temper and give me peace when all the plates were spinning and even when they were not. He begin to change an angry person into a happy person. He begin to give me some of those fruits of the spirit that I so needed. ( And those around me knew I needed!) A sure sign we need to spend more time connecting to our power source is when we just can't seem to get along with anyone and we are just never happy~ ouch! We all get there~ don't we?
Don't get me wrong~ I still have a long way to go but praise God I have come a long way. He's still working on me to make me what I ought to be! As I reflect back ~I am praying that I can be a better Grandmother than I was as a Mother.
I am in Washington visiting and as I watch my daughter with her two small children it reminds me of all the hard work a momma does. It is not an easy job for sure. Life is hard work but God will help us carry our load.
She is a great mom and doing a wonderful job. I am so proud of her.
Psalms 5:3 - My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
Psalms 90:14 - O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Be back soon~ I have playing and smooching to do today!Psalms 90:14 - O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
