Bored????????

This article on boredom is quite sad. What is up here?

I am amazed at this woman's attitude and gall and can't possibly see how life with little ones is boring unless YOU (the mom) allow it to be so. What is wrong with society that everything must revolve around "ME"??? Am I the perfect example of selflessness? No, no, not at all. In fact, I must insist that most of my daily struggles in my mothering career are a direct result of MY selfish tendencies. But do I allow these tendencies full reign? Certainly not. Each day I try to overcome my selfishness and pride and then the next day, I get up and work at it again. I don't think I can claim to love every waking moment, but I love the great majority of everyday. The smiles and blessings and love and fabulous opportunities to raise these little people to know Christ and serve him thrills me. This article makes me want to work harder at loving it all despite my feelings.

I added a comment to this article. I don't know if it's been added to the list of comments or not. It said they might edit the comments. And, of course, I used some really foul language in my comment like "God" and "self-sacrifice." I was a bit fired up.



My oh, SO, boring children!!! :)))))

On the flip side

There are benefits to the fact that today Jacob put his shirt on backwards and never remembered to turn it around. Now the stains that have made their way to the back of the shirt won't be on the front the next time he wears it. Life is full of little surprises.
