Raising Them Right


I love our local Christian book store!  I love it so much that I stay away because I want everything!  Several months ago, Brad and I went out for a date and as always, The Vineyard is on our list of places to go!  I stumbled across two fun devotionals for the entire family.  With the craziness of life and living with my parents, our nightly devotions as a family got off course.  It is sad and I don't like it but it's going to happen.  We have gotten back on track- Praise God.  Every night the boys have been piling into bed with us and we read and discuss the devotions.  It is stirring their spirits, their questions are amazing.  I love this time so much!  Last night after Jacob's ball game, a trip to TF for ice cream and baths, the kids piled into bed with us.  It was after 10:30 before they made it to bed but we cannot get this time back.  "Just 5 more minutes", Jacob says.  5 more minutes it is x 10 but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Jordan is 11 now, still likes to cuddle and hang out with us.  I know this will change soon enough, so this time is even more precious because he's older.  I'm glad we are back on track and I know we'll fall off again but it doesn't matter- what matters is that we get back on track again!  Life isn't perfect, never claimed it was but we have each other and we love each other and that is what matters!
