As I started my reading the Bible thru in a Year and was in Genesis 2, I noticed how God told Adam to not eat of the tree before he even created Eve, but the Serpent went TO Eve. Why is that? I believe it is because women have so much influence in the home. We have the ability to bring peace or chaos, we can be the encourager or the accuser. We have such a responsibility and the pleasure to create a HOME. I think all of our souls crave peace. I have 4 sons, and there is always something going on in my house. I love the quiet..where I can actually HEAR.
So here is a challenge! For one week, yes 7 DAYS, no eating out! Make that shopping list. Plan meals (at least dinner) and set that table. Make that meal where everyone is PRESENT. No TV, no cell phone. Bring out the conversation and see what happens! Let's make dinner an event. Let the kids set the table(my kids love that),use serving plates! Now, this does not need to be expensive, just special!
Don't have any killer recipes? Go to Food Network online? Or better yet, call your Mom or your Grandma and ask on of their favorites! (and your building relationships at the same time!)
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteYou have really challenged me. I too want to make 2011 a year of change. I really need to take the time to enjoy each day and not just always trying to catch up( which never happens). I don't want to not live my happy life!
Cindy, I feel the same way! I feel like i am always catching up, or trying. No one I would rather be challenged with. I love ya!
