I have been tucking children in the bed for years.
Years I tell ya.
It’s part of our nighttime norm and routine and I honestly get real satisfaction from fulfilling this duty and delight.
I used to tuck everybody in. Literally. All of my fantastic five.
Marriage is hard but it doesn't have to be impossible.
A few years ago, we moved into a quaint and modest three-bedroom brick house. Built in the 1920s, it’s a beautiful home for its age, but it also has its bumps and bruises. Like anything, time takes its toll. But it has, and still, endures.
If you have ever bought anything new, you know it doesn’t take long to develop cracks, rust, dents, dings, and a long list of other imperfections. Whatever is new eventually starts to fall apart.
Marriage is no exception.
Throughout my life one of the things I’ve struggle with most is embracing the season I am currently in. As a little girl, I remember dreaming of the day I would be in high school, and then in my youth, I dreamed of my wedding day. As I reflect on my life, one thing has been true of me at every stage. I always wanted to be in the season ahead of where I was.
One of my favorite quotes is:
“Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.” Jim Elliot
I heard these words ever so softly one evening while reading my Bible, "Are you willing to lay it all down?" The sweet, gentle voice was one I recognized instantly. It was the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking directly to my heart - and my heart felt every word as if it went through my very soul.
It happened when I was reading these scriptures in Matthew 9:
Being a good parent can start with changing a few habits. Don't believe me? Try one of these simple habits every day throughout the next five days, and watch how it transforms your family and your home!
