Although we may not get excited or you might about running your household on a schedule or cooking another meal or doing ANOTHER load of laundry, a heart filled with motherly affection does just that.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
5 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls. Prov. 31:14-15.
I wonder and many other mothers wonder why our children act up, talk back, are grumpy, and require so much discipline. For me if I do not strive hard to keep a good schedule every day and spend good one on one with my children they do act differently. They tend to get hungry for supper around 5:30pm.. well if I am doing other things and not on my game of course they are going to be grumpy and hungry. I know if i want to watch tv instead of sit with them at the table ( hello sarah,no) they will pick at each other more and want me to sit with them. Last night for example I didn't let the dumb tv rule my evening like I do sometimes and I did baths, books, and prays all on time and man was Jared and AJ happier then ever and went to bed on time with no fuse, and I got to have precious time with Gabe on the phone with no whining or needing everything in the background. Gabe noticed how happy they were as well.
