Not sure if this is an example of good or irresponsible\u00a0parenting\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
So we talk about what we need to do today. Options include:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paying bills
Concreting\u00a0
Planning drainage & concrete for the driveway\u00a0
Jesus Time (our morning devotions)\u00a0
Finishing sermon prep\u00a0
Planting out some fruit trees\u00a0
Prep work for steps
Postage \u00a0
Picking up items\u00a0
Prep for BSF<\/p>\n
Yet I find myself, at nearly 11am, eyes stinging from onion & hands covered in meat juice. Somehow, I am in a cook-off with one of my sons trying to make the best beef burger for Sharmini & the others to try(!). \u00a0<\/p>\n
They were (are) delicious but seriously, how does this happen?\u00a0We had been given some mince that needed using and didn\u2019t want it to go to waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I do have to say though: a relaxed atmosphere, putting Jesus first, wife second & kids third results in a harmonious and fruitful life. Not always in tasks completed, but in spiritual, moral and relationship areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Strangely enough, often things I have put off seem to fall into place easily later on. And I can point to many times where we have sacrificed time for Him and events happen to supernaturally speed up what we \u2018needed\u2019 to do\u2026 Why oh why do I have so little faith?!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 \u201cSo don\u2019t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today\u2019s trouble is enough for today. [Matthew 6:33-34 (NLT)]<\/p>\n
Now, on to those bills(!).\u00a0<\/p>\n
