Christmas wishes
My son has fallen in LOVE with the Toys r us Christmas magazine flyer!!! He keeps saying "Mom, I want this and Mom I want that!!!" After 2 days of this I can take no more..... He says "MOM!!!" and I say "Thomas you better not say 'I want'....." So he says... "Mom can I have this game?"

True Professionalism
Something to ponder:
Professionalism - the ability to sit back and enjoy the show and keep your mouth shut even when people bug you to pieces!

random thoughts......lately
Why am I the only person in this family who knows how to throw away the toilet paper roll and put on a new roll?!?
I don't want my life to be like a PB&J(yes-Peanut butter and jelly sandwich).... I don't want it to look slapped together.....I don't want to look back on my life and say "Well, I just threw that together at the last minute!" I want my life to be purposeful... to have meaning. I want my kids to come to know Christ as thier savior because I was deliberate in showing Him in a clear, understandable way. I want my kids to know Christ not just because of what I said... but because of the things I do. I want them to see Christ in me. And I am afraid... because I don't think they do see Christ in me as much as they should. Do they see Him when I am running late and I am speeding? No. Do they see Him when I am fussing at them for not listening for the 100th time? No. Do they see Him when I say "That was a kind thing to say or do?--Good job" Maybe.
Do they see Him when I spend quality time with them? Yes. Do they see Him when we are at church and singing praise? Yes.
I am convicted that they need to see Christ more in our home.
Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (NIV)
"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth."
