Thank you for your encouragement. It is a...Sara,<br /> Thank you for your encouragement. It is always something the Lord keeps bringing me back to in prioritizing the spiritual training over everything else. Sometimes I do better with the balance than at others, but the Lord is faithful to keep drawing me back to that vision. <br /> I have to smile at your comment about the Amish. I LOVE all things Amish and wish I could live in Ohio or Pennsylvania and at least be neighbors to the Amish. They have so much right when it comes to family values, strong community, etc. Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047950755645797202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4287773317710058536.post-46321148779853141962013-03-03T14:30:45.934-08:002013-03-03T14:30:45.934-08:00Ruth this is exactly how I feel the Lord has been ...Ruth this is exactly how I feel the Lord has been leading me. It's as if you read my mind. Focusing on the Lord, yes, He is number one above all else. I know what's its like to feel so pressured to have my children involved in this, that, and the other thing. But in the end our responsibility to train them up in the things of God is what really matters. And the toys! Oh I feel that way too!! We donate constantly as well. I feel sometimes that it will never end and I long for simplicity. Sometimes I even think, What would it be like to be Amish?!

I share the same sentiment and am constantly more concerned with the attitude of their hearts rather than their head knowledge. Praying we will both encourage each other in these things in the New Year :)Kimhttp://fanciedfreedom.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
