Here I sit in a house littered with "stuff" (LOTS OF STUFF) from our winter vacation. Half the Christmas decorations are taken down. (but still ALL; I mean All over the house) I guess in my constant "Mother" exhaustion I can be angry and discouraged...or I can find a moment of Peace.
I mean it's a New Year. We were very blessed. Everyone is healthy. We are LOVING living in Flag. The vacation was worth it (even with all STUFF). I'm in a warm home. My kids are giggling in bed, even though they are supposed to be sleeping. Aaron is catching up on work and I am thankful for it all.
I mean all of it! Stuff, exhaustion, constant work which is never done and most importantly the extreme joy. I love that the Lord has a great sense of humor...he gives us tasks that seem unbearable but laces them with great joy and peace. That makes me most thankful for my testimony of his gospel. For my knowledge that he loves me, wants me to find joy and peace and he definitely wants me to share that with others. I love you all.
I'm thankful for the imprint you all leave on my heart. Don't get discouraged...enjoy the "stuff" & find joy and humor in it all.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
My mom always said,"Remember who you are and what you stand for." I'm doing my best Mom.

That's so funny, I get crazy when there is too much "stuff" around. New Years day, I told Chris, that's it, we're cleaning this place up!! We took down all of Christmas, and had it all gone by the end of the day, and there was NO more stuff in my living room.
The next day, we went through all the toys. Making a huge run to the DI. I just had to get some cleaning done after all this holiday stuff. I'm starting to feel organized again. But, there is always more to do :)
Your thoughts are awesome! It's good to know that I'm not the only one with a house full of stuff. A house that needs cleaning. Yikes :)
