A great work day last Saturday! We, Phil & I, decided once and for all that our work (which is really LIFE because it never ends) was to be enjoyed AS we work not just when we reached the end goal, which by the way never seems to last very long!. We also decided once and for all that we wanted to enjoy working along side our children. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) I often feel as though I'm rushing to get somewhere rarely just in the moment. I want to live more in the now. Enjoying each moment even when doing things that often seem monotonous (laundry, can I get an AMEN sister!) God has asked us to do all our work as though we are doing it unto Him (Colossians 3:23). I think that requires us to enjoy the process. So, we will be praying a lot about this because we can not do this on our own (John 15:5)!
