It’s Saturday morning!\u00a0 Remember when you were a kid what Saturday mornings were like?\u00a0 I would either get up very early to watch cartoons; Shirt Tails, Smurfs etc. or if I slept in I could still catch\u00a0the Looney Tunes.\u00a0 Whatever happen to the Looney Tunes and I don’t mean the baby ones but the originals?\u00a0 Anyway Saturday mornings are totally different when you become a mom.\u00a0 If you have a little one you are lucky to get a few straight hours of sleep and forget sleeping in, most younger children I know wake up by 8:00 am at the latest!\u00a0\u00a0Saturday is a day to catch up on all that was neglected through the week.\u00a0 I made my list last night before I went to bed so I would not make the list while I was falling asleep, which happens as soon as my worn out head hits that pillow!\u00a0 I have to leave to go get pictures taken of the kids today which in itself can be quite overwhelming.\u00a0 Luckily I was a part-time photographer for JCPenny’s for 6 years and I know the photographer, she still lets me pose my kids and we do the session together.\u00a0 Then I have to take the kids to my Dad’s house because I have to work the concession stand at the ball field because 3 of my 4 children are involved in summer sports.\u00a0 My husband is at a golf scramble and will take my place later.\u00a0 Then I get to pick up the kids and relax?\u00a0 No of course there\u00a0 is no relaxing then we have to clean house, I have to pay bills etc…\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this day and age we live by lists.\u00a0 So many things just have to get done.\u00a0 So many expectations to meet.\u00a0 I believe we have too many things to do and we don’t designate a time to be with eachother were just too busy.\u00a0 Recently I have let my kids help me clean the house which was difficult for me because I knew the chores would not be done the way I would do them.\u00a0 But it gave them a sense of accomplishment and the feeling that they could do it.\u00a0 So now we clean house together, I know it’s not loads of fun but at least it’s together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This morning I also read a daily scripture reading Psalm 105: 4 Rely on the Lord, constantly seek his face.\u00a0 So today as I go out into the world for pictures and to serve others I will try to see God in other’s faces.\u00a0\u00a0 This morning as I had breakfast with my children I saw God in each of their faces.\u00a0 May you take a second today to really look at your child and see God in his\/her face and in those you encounter on your (restful) Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
