Little Accomplishments

Yesterday I started having family devotions with the kids in the morning before school. It is something that I have wanted to start for quite a while, but I was overwhelmed at how to go about it. Mornings can be rough, getting the kids out the door, and to school is quite a feat in itself. Evenings are even harder. After work, homework, dinner and showers the whole night seems to race by, and by the end I am completely exhausted.

So, I decided to try and have all our morning activities done by 8 am. That gives us a half an hour to fit in devotions. I am so so pleased with how it is working out too. The kids are so open, and have so many questions. I can see God working so much in their hearts and minds. They are even memorizing verses, and are so excited to recite them back to me. I am just praying that God gives me the grace, strength and ability to keep it up. With out His help I know I will fail, but I know that He will be there for me.
