We got started a bit late this morning! What makes it late? Hmm, my expectations I guess! There is, after all, no homeschool rule that says we have to start at 8!
So we had a great day of getting work done, reading things I had planned and accomplishing other 'book' goals. Arent those days rare but fulfilling? So by the end of the day, the pastors wife stopped by and I had a nice visit. So, a good day of school AND adult interaction...all in the same day!
As she left I went to sit on the couch and finish up some record keeping....the 'littles' (3,5,7,11) suddenly came filing out of one room, arms loaded with toys and headed to another room. There they were....one with hair totally unbrushed~for 2 days it appears, one with a shirt on inside out, the next was so busy holding up his 'baggy' pants that he could barely keep his toys in his arms, and the 11 year old was wearing a sweater and a pair of shorts.........?
Well so much for all of my accomplishments for the day! It appears that in my zeal to accomplish the 'big' things, that I left the 'little' things undone! Well at least I did the important things, right? Spend time with the children, be it perfect/peaceful time or not, and we did bible which...if I do nothing else in a day, I hope to do that. This is the one subject that will have eternal value!
There is a lesson in there somewhere. He who is faithful in a little will be faithful in much...So it would seem I was not faithful in a 'little'...or was I ? I guess it is all where we put our priorities!
