Balance is hard to accomplish but possible if we have our priorities strait. Understanding the true value of time and not letting it slip away into regrets.
Rising early and finishing well in all that you have set your mind to for the days tasks.
Giving of yourself to the people the Lord has given in your life.
Not allowing things to get away from you such as laundry and dishes my two hated tasks! Catching up is harder to do than just staying on top of these tasks.
Taking time for your kids to spend quality time not necessarily a quantity of time: the quality matters.
Being faithful in your time with the Lord brings all things into a balance. I believe the Lord protects your balance of life if you keep Him first.
Lord help me not to rob myself of a healthy balance of life. Help me to be the wife, mother, and friend that I ought to be. Help me to rise early and take advantage of the time I am given.
Love this!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat simple analogy here...and I love the prayer at the end. When I do all my chores, and make that special extra special time with my hubby and son, I feel balanced...the hard part is maintaining that...
