Do you ever struggle with having Bible time each day with the kiddos? Intentions are always good, but I have a hard time being consistent. Picture this: desiring to make our time enjoyable, we chose the front porch for morning devotions. It was cool, quaint, a change of pace...
...after fighting over seating location ("Please just find a seat...they're all the same) and solving the question, "What can I use to color on?", (Does everyone have a magazine??) we open our Bibles.
...the littles are allowed to color to help occupy their hands. Which means that not but a couple verses into our text the inevitable clanging and shuffling of colored pencils begins. Not finding the elusive shade, the
clattering seems to rise above my voice.
"Please stop with the pencils!!"
I'm starting to feel a rather large tinge of frustration, but after a deep breath, purpose to continue. This is sweet fellowship with the children...enjoy the moment...be present...
"MOM! Is that cow in Labor?"
(Jenna! You are kidding me, right?)
A quiet resolve to go with the moment, we leapt from the porch with high hopes of watching a birth. Miss momma however, grew tired of nosy neighbors and headed off to the back pasture for a bit of privacy, and thus we missed the action.
We did make it back to Bible time. Eventually.
