Priorities...

What are your priorities? It's been said that we can know alot about a person's priorities just by looking at 2 things: their checkbook & their calendar. If our children were to look @ our calendar, what would they see? A schedule filled with dinner meetings, parties and dates for going out with old friends, or practices for the sport of their choice, dance rehearsals & dates for 1 on 1 with them? I like to always think about how I'm gonna be spending my time. Then, on my calendar I mark what I'll be doing with our children, one on one. I've made it a habit to take Angelice every year to a concert of her choice. Next Friday is: "My Little Pony: World's biggest Tea Party". Only 5 mins from our home @ the Stadium, where all the concerts in Kissimmee are held. Last time I took her & her cousin to see Sesame Street Live. The year after that, we went to the circus just me & her. It's always something. {The Wiggles were here just recently like 2 mos ago or so, but my kids don't like 'em, thank God.}
Eggie & Angel always have their time together as well. This only makes it all the more exciting. So as u can see, spending time with my kids is my 2nd major priority, next to spending time with GOD. Especially now that the Lenten season has begun.
I got my ashes on my forehead last Wednesday, as I usually do each year. Yep, according to my little black book: "Lent is a time to take a long look at our life." After stopping & analyzing it all, we need to ask ourselves: "How much is God a part of my life?" The answer should be, at least 90 if not 100%. If not, this is where Lent falls in. Let's make it the best Lent season ever!
