Last night I tried to have a little lesson about prayer. My biggest motivation for the lesson was for the principal of our home school. Of course, they weren't present. I was gathering the family around for Family Prayer and scripture, and this said person refused to join us. Ugh..That's the hardest, when someone who should be a good example, isn't.
I know. I'm one to talk. I get upset at the kids and yell when I shouldn't. I'm not perfect. No one is. But it just seems like such a simple task. And if done right could be done with in 10 mins or less. Come on. 10 mins seems like a lot but it is really nothing. Although sometimes because of fighting and disobedience that 10 mins can turn into 15 or 20. That is still not bad. :)
That 10 mins could also be a great way to teach our children and a good time for bonding.
Ok, I'm done with my rant.
I do know that even though I feel these frustrations, and these "alone" feelings, in reality, I'm NOT doing this alone. My Savior is helping me. He is why I keep going. And when I'm feeling drained or finished, I call on him and he ALWAYS helps me feel better. He lets me know that even my smallest effort to teach and love my children, although usually on my own, are better than nothing! And so I pick myself up, wipe away my tears and try to trudge on.
