DIL Mel captured this photo of me and the little girls at Cade's birthday. I love it because....many nights I lie in bed and wrestle with myself on these issues.... With multiple children in pretty much every season of life (married all the way down to a toddler!) ...it's a constant juggling act to accomplish even #1 on the daily list as well as giving each person the attention they need. At night I lie there and think "Ok, I know I did things FOR them today, but did I do things WITH them? I want to capture their hearts early on and mold them in the ways of the Lord...but the actual process is easier said than done, right? I'm very task oriented, and love crossing that job off a list...but currently, this mommy is working on the WITH THEM moments that connect, envision, captivate, nurture, and bond their hearts with their parents. In busy days, it's easy to lose sight of the goal. So we press on....and make the time to take the time to read, play, listen and encourage each little one individually as well as promote sisterhood (ya-ya) between the three little ones. This photo of a quiet moment with our 3 adopted princesses served me well.

Ok, so I am on the computer can you believe it?... and perhaps we can blame the thosands of hormones flowing through my body right now but I would like to give credit to my heart that I totally enjoyed reading this post!
Its when all the plates are spinning that we can lose sight but God is so good and gracious to "capture" these moments to remind us of His great purpose. Thank you for taking the time to work on the with them...I am inspired:)
P.S. I lingered at your site to worship (with your music) nice selections;)
