I was just thinking how I need to just spend days 'loving" on my kids. You know, fun at home play, reading, making fun snacks, just being together and stop all of this running and business of life.

I...I also don't enjoy the process of change. I'll be praying for your family as you strive to focus more on what matters most.<br /><br />One simply way I've been focusing more on the kids while Tim works long hours is by playing games with them. We recently discovered Peaceable Kingdom's Cooperative Games. Everyone workd together to "win" and Emahry and Jonathan can even play on their own. I've also been playing in the sandbox in the evening instead of simply watching them play.<br /><br />As a side note, I notice that when I actually spend time being with them they are much more pleasant and obedient.Tim, Allyson, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783456001791140306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-84860569955823827102011-05-27T10:40:43.835-04:002011-05-27T10:40:43.835-04:00You will never regret a decision made to spend mor...You will never regret a decision made to spend more time with your family!!! All too soon they are out the door and you find yourself longing for you all to be together again. I am currently enjoying one of those weeks with all the family together. Its awesome, its totally upset my schedule, my hubbies schedule and the one who is still homeschooling's schedule. But that's ok!!!!!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844630804233451577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-78419375688675034532011-05-27T07:46:35.953-04:002011-05-27T07:46:35.953-04:00I have made similar choices over the past few year...I have made similar choices over the past few years. My children would likely have shared that I was on the computer often and even used it as an escape on the "hard" days of life. The Lord wanted to strip me of my blogs, Facebook account, and turn my heart to my family and closer to Him. Now, I find He is putting in my heart a greater passion for the lost. My treasures are moving heavenward as the cares of this life blur into the background. He is so faithful as we obey Him and seek to live for Him. (Father, I pray that you would mold this family into your likeness and that they would glorify You in Christ Jesus. Thank You so much Lord for their desire to pour into their family. In Jesus' name, Amen.). May God be glorified!<br /><br />In Christ,<br /><br />ErnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-58146842157588896112011-05-27T06:59:02.014-04:002011-05-27T06:59:02.014-04:00I was actually wondering if y'all were doing O...I was actually wondering if y'all were doing OK yesterday. I realized that I hadn't seen you post anything on FB or the blog in about a week. I think your post is something I can relate to... and something that I've seen a lot of bloggers mention here lately. The rush and hurry and not looking into our kiddos eyes, because we're too busy. I hope you guys have a great, calm and more family focused summer. :o) I admire you and your family for making changes!!! I hate changes as well and for see a lot coming in the next month or two as we adjust to less space and another one. :)Hyperactive Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759058185836810901noreply@blogger.com
