When Your Quiet Time is Not So Quiet – DOUBLE FEATURE

It wasn’t like I turned my back on God.

I just couldn’t fit Him in my schedule. The birth of our third child pushed me over the edge – the pages of my carefully crafted day planner fluttering in the breeze. Normally, I spent time in Bible study and prayer in the morning after the kids left for school. But nothing was normal…

“Thank you for being my eyes.”

I remember my grandmother relaying her gratitude when I pointed out the layer of mold on top of the preserves she was about to spread on her toast. She lost most of her eyesight due to macular degeneration, so in her nineties, she was completely dependent on others…

How to Be Thankful When there is Poop in the Tub

I could hear her pouting from across the room. “Hrmph!” My seven-year-old crossed her arms and made mad sighing noises. “But you usually let me get in the tub with Grace,” she whined.

I knelt, scrubbing my 22-month-old, listening to my daughter, Faith, list all the reasons why I wasn’t being fair. She desperately wanted to take a bath with the baby. As I stood to dry my hands, Faith swooped into my spot, leaning over the edge of the tub to play with her sister. I turned to fold the towels at the end of my bed in sight of the girls.

I listened to the sweet chatter that only a one and seven-year-old could have until I heard the gasp.

“Mommy!” Faith called me in horror, “There’s POOP in the tub!”

Insufficient


I bounced a check.

There. It’s out.

I wish I could tell you my insufficient funds were for a twenty thousand dollar super speedy motorboat with a deluxe bathroom on board. Instead I bounced a check for nineteen-dollar school pictures…

Make Room


“Put this in your purse.” My husband thrust a sippy cup my way. “And this,” he tossed me a bib. As I dug and rearranged my wallet, my business card case, a few peppermints, some lip gloss, forty-eleven coupons, a tube of hand cream, a pack of tissues, and my pressed powder compact to fit the cup, he says, “We should probably take these.”


I raised my head to see a couple of diapers and a wipes box staring me in the face…

Lost Game System

My daughter’s hand-held gaming system is lost. And yours probably is, too.

I don’t mean we can’t find it. I mean it doesn’t know Jesus. Now before you half of you send me emails telling me how gaming systems don’t have a soul, and the other half of you tell me how your gaming system was saved at an early age, let me explain myself…
