Its amazing what I can accomplish when I focus.
Especially when I focus on Christ, my spiritual strength, my marriage, my kids.
My mind is flooded with ideas, ways to correct, inspiration.
I feel so much better than I did last week.
My kids are responding to a much happier mom.
I was in my room on my knees this morning. I heard little feet.
I didn't know who it was until her little voice said "Mom".
I looked up from my prayer and told her simply and sweetly, "I'm talking to Heavenly Father, can you hold on a sec."
She's almost always the first one into my room begging for breakfast.
That's what I was expecting to hear about when I finished.
And then, words that melt my heart.
"Mom, what can I do for you"?
Ethan begged me to take him shopping last night.
He discovered that his piggy bank was loaded with enough $$$ to buy himself a Bakugan.
The house was a bit disorderly (big fat pig pen mess!)
He saw my stress, knew that if he "scratched my back, I'd scratch his."
That boy put his whole heart into serving me last night, even when I released him from any duty he continued to help.
He gave me a big fat hug, told me he wanted to keep helping.
Told me he loved me very much.
It made me cry.
I want more.
Sunday, an idea.
