Not sure if this is an example of good or irresponsible parenting…
So we talk about what we need to do today. Options include:
Paying bills
Concreting
Planning drainage & concrete for the driveway
Jesus Time (our morning devotions)
Finishing sermon prep
Planting out some fruit trees
Prep work for steps
Postage
Picking up items
Prep for BSF
Yet I find myself, at nearly 11am, eyes stinging from onion & hands covered in meat juice. Somehow, I am in a cook-off with one of my sons trying to make the best beef burger for Sharmini & the others to try(!).
They were (are) delicious but seriously, how does this happen? We had been given some mince that needed using and didn’t want it to go to waste.
I do have to say though: a relaxed atmosphere, putting Jesus first, wife second & kids third results in a harmonious and fruitful life. Not always in tasks completed, but in spiritual, moral and relationship areas.
Strangely enough, often things I have put off seem to fall into place easily later on. And I can point to many times where we have sacrificed time for Him and events happen to supernaturally speed up what we ‘needed’ to do… Why oh why do I have so little faith?!
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Now, on to those bills(!).
