Not the emotion I really like to talk about. But I want to be real. Last weekend was one of the most exciting I'd had in a long time. I totally relished in the fact that my son had the lead in the play, did a fabulous job, and I got to be a part of it in a small way, organizing meals all week for the cast and crew. Totally loved it that my daughter came home for her one day fall break and she was able to see the play too. Got to have a little birthday party for her - 10 days late, but we got to have one. I was on a total adrenaline rush for several days. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!
Then I was brought to my knees on Sunday. Wonder why I can't get that excited about the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, and the marvelous gift He's given me? Why don't I anticipate His return like I anticipated the play, the time spent with my daughter? I'm ASHAMED...

Robin, I think we have all felt that way at some point. I think the main thing is that you can see where your priorities are at and have the ability to readjust. God knows your heart and it is SO good!
I have felt that way too. You are a great mom and a great Christian example. I am so glad I know you. And I know God is glad that you are rejoicing in the special moments you have with your kids!
It is easy to get caught up in the stuff of life because it is fun...especially when it involves our kids. I struggle with that, too. I think we all do and thankfully God is forgiving and loving and understands.
Thank you for putting into words what we have all felt at some point in time. Some of us feel this more than we would ever want to admit. Thanks for sharing.
