In a perfect world...
-I wouldn't have to tell my 2yr old to stop spitting on daddy's laptop.
-I would never have a cross or screaming kid in public.
-Laundry would fold itself instead of lying on the floor, mocking me, reminding me that one more job needs to be done.
-My third grader would work without daydreaming or talking. I would not have to remind her again to be diligent.
-All 12 little hands would pick up after themselves.
-The appliances in our house would never break causing more work for everyone.
-There would be more time with my hubby.
-I would get more sleep.
-I would not feel the Holy Spirit reminding me to be more patient.
-Homeschooling would be easy.
-Watching the news would not give me nightmares about my children's future.
-I would be a more creative writer instead of using this blog as therapy.
-My little ones would not be fighting right now (have to pause to make #4,and 5 let #6 in to the playroom).
-The before mentioned playroom would not have so many toys out that it looks like all the toy boxes thew up while no one was watching.
-My house, car, backyard, and garage would always be clean and orderly.
In a perfect world like this I would not call on my Savior each morning to help me with the day to come. I would not ask Him to help me know my children's hearts and how to train them to love Him and others. I would not thank Him when Scott and I get to steal a moment together. I would not have anything to do and would be miserably bored. So I think I'll let my perfect world look like this...
-God what do you want me to do today?
-How do you want me to train/teach?
-Thank you for all that I have to do today. Thank you for the messes that will keep me from being bored.
-Thank you for the Holy Spirit that strengthens me all day long.
What does your perfect world look like?
My perfect world is very much like yours!
ReplyDeleteOnly 16 little hands. Of course whether it is 12 or 16 does it really matter...a mess is a mess.
