This is my first experience with Lisa Jo Baker and Five Minute Friday http://lisajobaker.com/
So, here we go...
Focus
Moment by moment I am given the choice of what to focus on. The world comes at me fast, but I will choose that which I will allow to camp in my mind.
I come home from working an evening shift and the dishes are piled high. I sigh, thinking of waking in the morning to this mountain. But then I realize, the dishes are left undone because my husband spent time playing with our boys instead of washing them. I will choose to focus on the amazing father that my husband is.
"Mommy!!!!! Mommy!!!!! I NEED .....!" I will choose to dwell on the beauty of tending to the babies that God has entrusted to me, rather than the drain of meeting needs all day.
I will choose to focus on the beauty. I will choose to focus on the gifts.
I wrote my first "Five Minute Friday" post today also. So true, God gave US the choice to choose what we want to focus on.;-) So love that you're slowly taking your time to savor every moment of life...that's what makes life worth living! Great post!

DeleteAnne, I love this! "I will choose that which I allow to camp in my mind." So true. I allow so many unnecessary things to camp in my mind. Beautifully challenging. So great to meet you!
