It's easy to be discouraged by the endless amount of seemingly mundane tasks that a mother needs to perform each day. Another diaper to change, another load of laundry to wash, dry, fold, put away; another load of dishes to do, meal to cook, bed to make, toys to pick up, and the list could go on. It is no small task to manage a household! One thing that really encourages me throughout the day is listening to a Christian radio station. The station I most often listen to plays not only great music, but has wonderful teaching throughout the day (Nancy Leigh DeMoss, James McDonald, Dennis Rainey, etc.) and a great news program in the evening (In the Market with Janet Parshall).
I was listening to the radio last night while doing the dishes (yes, I didn't wake up to dirty dishes this morning!) and love how God turned a task I typically don't enjoy into an opportunity to praise him instead. I just love this song!
"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty, Who was and is and is to come!" Rev. 4:8

That's one of the ways that helps me, so how do you stay encouraged throughout the day?

Davin Playing the Piano
Davin just told me this:
"Mama, my favorite hobby is playing the piano."
I am one happy mama!! I started taking piano lessons when I was 6, the same age he is. We decided against taking him to someone else to give lessons this year. Our reasoning was that first of all, I could teach him myself; and secondly, I don't think he's emotionally mature enough yet for taking lessons. I just decided to gently introduce him to the piano and he's decided to teach himself! He cut up pieces of paper, numbered them, and taped them onto the keys of the keyboard to match the music in the songbook. Pretty inventive! I need to pick up some lesson books and start some real lessons with him before it's too hard to change the finger pecking on the keys!

Davin Acting out Jonah and the Whale
For our My Father's World curriculum a few weeks ago, we made a Bible Times costume and Davin was pretending outside. We made an impromptu movie and I thought it was pretty cute!
