changing those small things

I love to read blogs that are written by Christian moms and this one unparticular I love. www.impressyourkids.com  There are many moms in the church I admire (including my mom) I always look at how my parents raised me and how now I so appreciate the things they did. As a teenager I didn’t always understand why there was a thing I wasn’t allowed to do, but now I understand and appreciate it.

Someday I will be a mother and I am very excited for when that happens (just because I am excited doesn’t mean it is happening soon...) I like to get advice and there are so many things I have said “oh I want to do that with my kids”, “I want to be that kind of mom” I just caught myself saying that and it made me think. I want to be a mom that teaches my kids biblical character and live a life in Christ. I want to live this out at home with them. How am I going to be able to do this with my someday children when I don’t even think to some of this stuff daily. OK yes I read my bible and pray, but I mean as far as randomly reading a bible story at lunch and discussing it. I want to do that!  I suppose that I just challenged myself to practice these things a little bit more myself. 

 Honestly I like to eat in front of the television (we also don’t have a table except our coffee table that sits in front of the TV.)   I figured it might be easy to make some of these small changes (that will make a huge difference) in our life now instead of when we do start having kids. Maybe you do or don’t have kids but it’s never too late to make small changes that could make a big impact. :)
