That is a question we hear A LOT as parents. So much so we get weary of it. The kids asked us many times this last Saturday as we had planned on just being at home and "doing" nothing special. You see the kids are used to having something special planned for them so much that they are starting to forget about just being home and relaxing, refreshing themselves for the week ahead.
As I was getting my room picked up Saturday morning God nudged me. He reminded me that there are so many times He wanted me to rest in Him instead of DOING something "for Him". Why do I think I need to do something special in order to please God? Sure, He appreciates the time we spend serving Him in church or training our children. At the time, but how many times have I sat down and truly rested in Him and refreshed myself in His grace and love? I don't want to be too busy "doing" to miss the opportunities God has for me to show me Himself. Just like I don't want to miss moments with my own children of snuggling in their pj's or just reading on the couch next to each other. Getting up and feeling loved, refreshed and overwhelmed by His grace.
