I start off my day with my Bible & my cup of coffee (& yes, the coffee IS non-negotiable!)
But, after that, I feel like most days, I am just floundering through the moments.
What should come first?
My health?
My kids?-who probably need me on average 150 times a day! (“Mom?!!” “Moooooommmmmy!!!!”)
My hubby?
My sisters?
My relationships with my friends?
My house?
Ooops…..& I almost forgot-the laundry? (I’m always forgetting the laundry-just ask my hubby!!!)
I love what Steady Mom had to say about this in her blog post a few days ago.
She asks herself these questions at the end of the day:
* Did I spend enough time with my kids today?
* Did I have any eye-to-eye conversations with them?
* What did they tell me, or try to tell me, today?
* Did I slow down enough to enjoy them, or was my day too rushed?
* How have they changed from yesterday?
* Did I kiss my husband today?
* Did I treat him as my husband or as the hired help?
* What memories did I make for our family today?
* How can I do better tomorrow?
How do you decide what needs to be done? How do set priorities?
P.S The cooking is done! Anyone want to come over for dinner?

In principle, it seems so simple to me...
God
Husband
Children (character over academics)
Family
etc
Determining those priorities in principle is important and a big step.
BUT...
It's what they look like "with skin on" that has a tendency to throw me. I take great comfort in the promise in James for wisdom to be granted when we ask. Now, if I would remember to ask more often...
It is so hard to balance all our hats- I guess we're at a good starting point if we're thinking about them and trying! Thanks for stopping by my site! Happy Holidays.
It is so hard balancing all our hats- I think we put first whatever/whoever needs us more and go from there.
