Can we just take a moment to look at this big, beautiful girl? This is Di, one of our cows. She was our daughter’s show cow for a show season 2+ years ago. She is a vital part of our herd. We were blessed to acquire her from our friends at Little Creek Farm. We love her. She is a favorite of ours! Can you tell why?
My kids are no longer little! Where did time go? At the ages they are now (15, 17, & 20), bedtimes don’t look anything like they used to! No one is getting a bedtime story and needing to be tucked in anymore. As a matter of fact, most every night ends with us going to bed before them and sometimes, they tuck us in and turn out the light!
But given the opportunity to review this really cute book, “PJ Time”, gave me the chance to reminisce on the days when they were small and we would snuggle together to read a devotional or a bedtime story. Even as they grew older, each of them would do their own devotions. Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Our hope and prayer as parents, is that they will continue those habits long after we aren’t tucking them in!
Can I be real for a minute? Am I the only one that ever just gets it wrong sometimes? Am I the only one who when you step away from a situation, realizes just how bad you messed up?
Do you ever put your foot in your mouth and then make room to squeeze the other one in there with it? Am I the only one who tries to bring peace to a situation only to end up with the realization that you only made it more chaotic?
Have you ever made the statement that you aren’t controlling, yet all the while trying to “manage” the circumstances?
