My crew is home! Just as I mentioned, I jumped right back into fifth gear with first-born's basketball game last night. I thank God for bringing my family home safely - He really didn't have to do it. Hubby came home sick and was sick the entire time. Yes, I'm playing nurse-maid (smile). My prayer is to maintain this renewed love for my family and not tire of the things I'm called to do as a wife and mother. When I begin to feel the threads of frustration, I know it's time for a mini-retreat - time for renewal - time for a break. Taking care of me helps me better care for my family.
