There is never enough time, I realize. Whether a working mom or a stay at home mom, time seems to be more and more elusive. There are just not enough hours in the day to do all the things one needs to. And when a few moments are found in the evening to spend "quality time" with the kids, we are all too exhausted from the day. The boys have been at daycare in a structured environment all day and after coming home, they just want to relax in the evenings. I too, come home after a long day, yet completely caught up with the facts that my boys still need to eat, shower and perhaps get some influences by who we are at home. How do I spend the last few hours of the day with them when everyone is stretched to their limits? How do I use my time to shepherd their hearts when time is short, their attention spans are even shorter, and I am exhausted?
I'm learning that as a mom, I have to be creative …and multitask …and look for opportunities in everyday life to teach my boys, discipline them, let them enjoy life now, love them (that means a ton of hugs and kiss), making the most of each minute, trusting that God will be faithful to reveal Himself to their hearts, even in chaos… even in the mundane.
