Why is our presence so important? Our presence is important because we are a constant model and reminder for our kids of how to approach the world. How to raise a family. How to love and serve in a marriage. How to approach and solve problems. How to love and serve God and serve the world through His love. How to embrace this amazing life we have here for a small amount of time. How to live. How to love. How to fully embrace those moments together.
“What if, instead of trying to make the most of our time, we worked harder at savoring it?”
― Sarah Mackenzie
“Some people call it multi-tasking, as though it’s a skill to be desired and honed, but I know it’s really a lack of focus-a refusal to seek out the important things.”
― Sarah Mackenzie
This episode focuses on ways to plan for being present, eliminating guilt, and honoring our values with our schedules. What's important for your family? Does your life honor that?
Try to make presence a daily goal until it becomes an actual habit!
In our eyes, we can never do or be enough for our kids when in fact, we are exactly who our kids need. You have been created in His image to raise these kids. Yes. You. The one who constantly questions…overthinks…and worries. There is just A LOT going on right now swirling around you all while you are just wanting to raise these little ones and have some fun in there, too. Am I right?
Honestly, the best mom you can be is a happy and present one. Your “to do” list will NEVER end…but you can pick away at it AND include that non-negotiable time with you kids.
As a homeschool mama, I get to be with my kids all day and every day. It’s amazing…and can be overwhelming at times. But we also have to find time to just “be.” For us, it’s making a snack and reading together or getting outside to explore and unwind. Find what works for your family and start doing it NOW. This quote sums it up:
“No one will ever say, no matter how good a parent he or she was, “I think I spent too much time with my children when they were young.”
― Sarah Mackenzie
