My house is not magazine perfect at all and I'm tired of comparing myself to someone else. I am who God made me and I can work at doing the best as He has created me.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086499399927002262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134191112972538823.post-89542476350920972412012-05-12T08:31:18.440-04:002012-05-12T08:31:18.440-04:00MidnightMom, I can identify!

Sometimes we just have to count our blessings and pray to be released from the burdens that are nagging us (like the impractical notion of having a perfect house and a gaggle of small children). I think it teaches us patience, perseverance, and trust in the Lord! :) Thank you for commenting. :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286348570744040982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134191112972538823.post-15555964892981873772012-05-12T08:23:30.927-04:002012-05-12T08:23:30.927-04:00I.

It cuts out a lot of frustration because they aren't right behind me making messes from what I just picked-up. I help them with their own rooms, and every so often do a big overhaul clean there, but want them to know the importance of taking care of their own things. In order to widdle down the messes, we purge toys and other things we don't need frequently - donating and trashing the trash. However, there are still many messes to be made. :) Thanks for commenting!! :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286348570744040982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134191112972538823.post-83221337253278944622012-05-12T01:28:04.820-04:002012-05-12T01:28:04.820-04:00I needed this today.
