Busyness

This meme encouraged me this morning since I am not always the most secure person in the world and often feel a little intimidated by other moms on facebook. Moms who are homeschooling five or six, or more,  moms who are crafty, or who are up on all current events and have educated opinions on them, moms who feed all organic foods, and on and on. 
Then there is me who really just wants a quiet ordinary life with the ones I love, and doesn't always have the energy, and ability to do all the things above. But as John has reminded me, those things in themselves are good,  but they aren't necessarily what God has called me to do TODAY. So today I'll do my best to run the home God has given me and fulfill all the responsibilities He gave me, but most importantly I want to keep my eyes on my biggest goal which is teaching and showing the gospel to my children. Without that everything else is pointless. Busyness and productivity are great, but only if I have my priorities in order. May the Lord help to keep my eyes on what is most important!
