Comments on: Homekeeper’s Journal http://suchtreasures.com/2008/08/26/homekeepers-journal/ Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~Matthew 6:21~ Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:23:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Elaine http://suchtreasures.com/2008/08/26/homekeepers-journal/comment-page-1/#comment-4326 Elaine Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:48:42 +0000 http://suchtreasures.com/?p=2149#comment-4326 Sometimes it's hard to bare one's soul to people we don't really know. But then it can be equally hard to do so to people we do know as well. That is why I have a private blog that is just for me, no one else can see it. There I can truly bare my soul - it helps me so much to actually write/type out my thoughts vs just think them in my head - and it is just for God and me. As far as spending more time w/family and God....you're not alone in that by far. I really would love to have our family sit down and spend time in prayer together, this would help my kids to feel more comfortable praying - though there have been times when one of my kids has just spoken up and reminded me that maybe we should turn to God with what ever is going on.

I have done the same today. And DD I have had a blast. We've read books, had a teddy bear picnic, did an art project with glue, and I went through and organized my magazines and cut out fav. articles, AND the house is clean.... Yes.

It really is like decluttering your life... keeping what is important and getting rid of the none important. ..... I have to say that last week, I was having a bad moment at work and to be honest was not happy about some things and was complaining ... (nice, huh?) .... anyway... afterwards, I looked at my Grace for the Moment devotional that is on my desk.. and thought to myself, I need to take a break and see what God had to say to me... Oh, yes, I did, because He hit me right between the eyes..... This was the Scripture: "Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for people." Col 3:23....... do you think that humbled me? yep.... Pray without ceasing... I remember trying to teach my children that... every moment is a time to pray to God... as we drink in the beauty of His gift, the earth around us, we can praise Him. Praise for eyes to see, nose to smell, lips to taste, ears to hear... Praying as we are driving or walking or just working around the house or whereever we may be.. Every opportunity ... to talk to Him, petitioning, praising, thanking, letting Him know our feelings, being real to Him. I used to be better than I am now. You have reminded me how important this is .. and the example that it is to my children and grandchildren.... Oh, my sister in Christ, I SO hear you on this.
