Puzzle Pieces

Ever heard Mr. Gungar speak about the difference between men's brains and women's? He said men have boxes and only pull one out at a time. If they are thinking about one thing and need to change to another, they must first switch boxes... Well, I'm like that with life. I do so want to be perfect, but it's hard to focus on more than one area at a time. There's marriage, raising children, keeping house... And I want to do them all right, but I find myself focusing on one box at a time and feeling like a failure in all. I was challenged by a book I was reading today to see it more like a puzzle that I am fitting together piece by piece to make a beautiful whole. I want to be a good wife - so I choose today to greet my husband at the door with a kiss; to raise my children intentionally, so I will giggle with them and hug them today, and say yes because I can instead of "not right now" because it is easy and mindless; to keep home - so I will take the time to wipe those sticky spots from the cupboard door, and start that extra load of wash; to keep Him first, so I will live to Him in this moment and glorify him by a moment by moment life of praise to God.
