Busy Times and Those You Love

While lying in bed this morning, one of the things on the 'to do' list was a blog post. Not having doing too much shopping (except for the great deal on crackers at Safeway - good through tonight) I didn't have much to post on that. We've been doing some baking, but nothing out of the ordinary. I already posted some money saving ideas... hmm... what to blog about?

Then, I realized that I could blog about exactly what I've been trying to remember, so this blog is for you moms and wives. When life gets busy ( and for many this is a very busy time of year) we somehow seem to forget the most important things. I have been trying to remember that amidst the school, ( with special projects) shopping, baking, colds, company here, company coming, etc. that there still are the people who live in this house, who I can almost forget in the bustle of it all.

So... this is just a little reminder.... your children still need you, still need you to listen to their important parts of their days. Still need you to take the time to read that book, or talk through that math problem with them. Just a few minutes may be all it takes.
I don't know if you're like me or not, but I have too often had the mindset that my dear husband is a grown man... so he can manage this busy time sort of on his own. What a mistake I've made! If you want to really enjoy this holiday time, ( I can't guarantee this, but would almost bet on it) then take a little time EACH DAY to be sure that your honey is a happy man... be it a hot morning cup of coffee, his favorite meal, a back rub.... what ever he'll appreciate most and will feel loved. It's amazing how the male gender works! They ARE the tough guys, the providers, the protectors. Yet, not only my own husband, but from what I've heard and read, most of them have that longing inside just like we do to be loved and cherished!

So... on that note, enjoy this wonderful time of year... but don't forget the greatest earthly blessings God has given you... your own family! God Bless you ( and the efforts you make towards your man!)
