This is a hard and personal issue for me. Tv and entertainment are not big snares here..in fact we would love a bit more...and I always lift weights and exercise when we do get a dvd to watch. So, I feel okay with most of my time usage and elimination of "time wasters" but still I am always short of time it seems for productive things. I even type on the PB fast (reason for all the typos) and try to limit my PB time.
Yes, I admit it is hard to sit and read for even 30 minutes with Baby Girl because she just doesn't understand yet. I like to hug her briefly and hold her while I talk to Big Brother. It really is hard for me to spend too much time with infants.
Really my struggle at present is that I am craving solitude and some alone time in the Word but see this only at the expense of more family time. So, I am trying to prioritize. Just how much Bible reading is enough? And just how much playing with kids is enough? Just how much praying is enough? |
Those last three questions haunt us all. How much Bible Study and prayer can ever be enough? And if you have ever lost a child, you constantly wonder how you could have had more time with them. We must humbly seek the Lord's help and do our fallen best. We are only fallen, sinful creatures who must struggle daily with the limitations upon us. Praise the Lord for the day when we can worship Him forever. Stay the course sir, do what is best as you can tell and plead with Jesus for forgiveness for what we don't get done. We'll never be perfect here, or anywhere's close. Pray for strength and focus and that He will search out your ways to show the areas that need work. Just wanting to find the faults shows your sanctification process, we are all there brother...
