I have to be so careful. I will get convicted about one area of my life where I am wasting precious time and energy that needs to go to my family, and next thing you know, something else has popped up in its place. I really need to keep my life and what I place true value in before the Lord in prayer.<BR/>Thanks for today!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-1538122472887179172008-02-21T12:36:00.000-06:002008-02-21T12:36:00.000-06:00Ditto to what everyone else said.

It really made me think about what I focus on and what I am communicatiing to my children. <BR/><BR/>This post is again causing me to ask the same question. <BR/><BR/>Great post Kelly!Chris @ Come to the Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878659618561017060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-77198636152076155092008-02-21T10:59:00.000-06:002008-02-21T10:59:00.000-06:00Great post!

I know it is true, yet I am sitting here typing on a laptop I use every single day and listening to an iPod I plug into my ears every single day. Where are my children? When was the last good conversation I had with my mother? Have I taken the time to connect with my good friend H this week? It's a good thing God remembers I'm just dust. He is so merciful and gracious to this sinner. I don't deserve Him or His goodness. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing this today, Kelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36356817.post-87774442620593763602008-02-20T10:31:00.000-06:002008-02-20T10:31:00.000-06:00I desire for my treasure to be indespensable alway...I desire for my treasure to be indespensable always, but the flesh always seems to get in the way.
