Little things in Life!

It's the little things in life that are the most important!!!

Do you ever get up and want to just get a hot cup of coffee or tea and a good book and curl up and just read and drink your hot drink and enjoy your day by doing nothing else? I sometimes think, "Oh, it would be so nice to just have a lazy day today." Then reality sets in and my kiddos wake up and before you know it, it is time to start the day. Laundry, dishes, feeding kids, cleaning up and all the millions of little things that we moms do every day.

You know, I love my family more than anything and sometimes it would be nice to just have that lazy day or just do nothing or anything other than all the adulting things we have to do, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I love the time I get to spend with my kiddos, even if it is a million things I have to do. So I get my cup of coffee and usually make my older kiddo a hot cup of cocoa and we start our day just enjoying our hot drinks together.

We homeschool so after we finish our drinks we will usually clean up a little bit and then get our school lessons out of the way so we can play or run errands the rest of the day. I also work from home as a small business that sells vintage embroidery kits or crocheted items so it is never ending work between that and homeschooling and cleaning.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God. "Trust in God and He will show the way." Do we really understand what it means to trust God? Can we truly comprehend this statement? It's easy when things are going our way. It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well. However, do you still trust God when life is hard? When everything seems to be going wrong in life? Do you trust God through the hard stuff? There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night." Think about the words to that song. No matter what, God is still God. He still has control over the outcome. Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories. Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing. This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today. I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today. Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement? Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for. Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered? Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere. Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers? It just might not be His ...
