Family Worship Time
We try to be very diligent about setting aside time for our family to spend time together reading God's word and praying together after dinner. Admittedly there are times when we do better/worse than others. Honestly, often it can be one of the most exhausting things I do all day, and make me just want to give up trying ever again.
So, I had a thought last week in reflecting on a week of really "difficult/goofy/crazy/distracted" times - maybe family worship time is more for the parents than it is for the kids?? Maybe its just part of God's training ground for parents to teach them patience and perseverance :)
So, I hope I learn patience soon!
Seriously though, in the meantime, I am encouraged to keep on doing what I know really is making an impact on my life and my family's lives. I hope that if you don't already, you will make it a priority of your family to spend time together with each other and with God. This is one of my resolutions for improving this year and seeing how God grows us together.
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Thanks Mark, that made me really stop and think about our time with the kids. We really need to step it up a notch in our house. Maybe we could get some tips from you guys!
BTW ~ Thanks for taking time to pray with us a few weeks ago. It was such an encouragement to Jeff and I. We were feeling pretty down but we're not trying to look at it a different way. We already see God doing things in our lives and we know it's just a matter of time before it's taken care of!!
