  Lessons learned the past few days:

To spend more time with my children, especially my son.  I have a great nanny who loves to take care of my son and lately  I have been  taking  advantage of this a little too much.   This is a season, my son, my girls will all  grow up soon and I will have missed it.  So my lesson is to not be overly committed here and there and to purposefully slow down and chill at home with my children.

On My Prayer List:

Brenda in Paraguay

Husband & children

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verse:

Proverbs 4:23 (The Message)

Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
   that's where life starts.

With so much around us today, both good and bad we need to keep watch, be attentive, cautious, observant and aware.  Minute by minute, moment by moment.  Not only of our own hearts but also that of our children’s.
