One Thing

Here are some things I wish I was doing:

• Writing everyday
• Singing more
• Getting up before the kids
• Spending time with God each morning and night
• Teaching my kids logic
• Sighing at my children less and laughing with them more
• Eating healthy
• Making DH feel like a super hero
• Living simply
• Taking more risks
• Calmly training my kids
• Remembering the important things
• Letting life experiences teach my kids most of the time and using the textbooks to supplement, instead of vice versa
• Managing our home well
• Spending more time looking my kids in the eyes
• Finding contentment in the now

Ok, so that’s just some of the stuff I feel like I could improve or start doing.  Sometimes I get a little discouraged thinking of how imperfect I am and how I “should” be doing better — but that kind of thinking only leads to defeatism.  The real challenge is seeking after the One.   If I can do that, the rest takes care of itself.  Wait…. that reminds me of a verse I learned long ago.  “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”  Alleluia!
