Busy Times

With Baseball, T-ball, Soccer, Karate, AWANA's. Children's Choir, Mother's Day and Mason's birthday coming up fast, it has been difficult to find time to post anything. I must not be the only one feeling this way, because I have noticed that many of our friends haven't been posting either.

Why do we get so caught up in the day to day life?

I am reminded of something a counselor friend told me several years ago. People stay busy because it is easier to be a "human doing" rather than a "human being". What she meant was it is easy to get caught up in a busy life, and miss what is really important.

Yesterday I felt like I hadn't seen Drason in about a month, with opposite schedules, and so many activities it seems like we never have "us" time.

Last night, after the stars came out, he asked me to go outside and star gaze with him.

You really feel small compared to all that, and greatly loved.

So if you get a chance today, enjoy the beautiful day outside, or go star gazing tonight!

See you soon,

Amanda

PS. Trying out a new template, what do you think?

Awana's awards

Macguines and Marshal had Awana's awards night, last night and we were so proud of them. Mason had Cubbies awards a few weeks ago, and he did really well too. They didn't get started in Awana's until April and both were able to complete their 1st book. Here are some pics.
