Mother Maxim - Tip
You always have time for what you put first.
Mother Moment
Modern houses tend to have an office or a study – a place for the computer, desk, and filing cabinet to go. If it isn’t used for (home-)school projects or home-based work, then it may be for computer games or networking online through Skype, email, or Bebo!
Your office may be a place where your life’s priorities and goals are formed, or worked out - a place that can represent self-improvement through searching the internet for information on particular issues with a child or your family, or by studying for papers to gain an academic degree or diploma. What are your family’s priorities? Have you evaluated them lately with your spouse?
The filing cabinet stores the family papers and records – insurance and bank forms, maybe appliance warranties and instructions, a copy of your up-to-date will, and birth and marriage certificates. Labelling the separate folders becomes important if finding what you want in short time is to happen. How do you locate or find the really important things in your life?
I’m meeting an increasing number of people who regularly read from the Bible online – a bonus because of the multiple versions and concordances that are easily available to help with insights into the passage being read. They may also meditate, privately journal or blog online what God is teaching them in life. I still like my paper version of my Bible where I can tag the margins with personal or “God” insights. Where do you gain Godly insights?
I wonder, if God had an office, what would happen there? would it be a prayer room? The title nameplate on his door might read: The Chief Executive of all Creation. Have you visited His office lately? What happened?

May I make (or take) small still spots of time to plan, think, rearrange life – for myself, for God, for my husband.
