One of my favorite blog communities has started a new weekly event that I have decided to take part in. Every week I will list 3 small successes and I invite you do the same.
We can so easily become overwhelmed with all the tasks we must fulfill in our busy lives. Between housework, children’s homework, food preparation, kids sports…it’s a wonder there is time for anything else, like the little projects we take on along with our regular daily duties.
In December I wrote a post titled, “Time is a Gift” So now I would like us to recognize those times when we made good use of our time. When we closed our eyes to housework to spend time with our children, or we fulfilled a goal we set for prayer time. Perhaps your goal was to be more committed to fulfilling some housework that you have neglected.
Whatever it may be it’s important to review and acknowledge what we have accomplished, this way we won’t be bogged down by all that we did not get done.
In the words of Danielle Bean “It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So let’s do that.”
