Lessons learned and....

I have learned

 that allowing your child

to watch television

OR

play video games for a little while,

while you rest on the couch

WILL NOT

cause lightening to strike

OR

children services to show up at your

doorstep.

OK, so listen up, I don't actually take 

any credit for those words up-top.

Although I completely agree with them :) 

and have many a times laid down on the couch while 

the kids were here in the living room with me, either

watching TV, playing legos, etc.

They all know that Mommy is right there on the

couch and that if they need anything, I am just

resting, all they have to do is ask. 

They are not allowed to answer the door or

the phone no matter what!!!

But they have no problem with that, because 

the younger one's can't answer the door

even when I'm not resting !!!!

So when I am hurting and exhausted and 

I need a rest, I take it!!

And I don't feel guilty in the slightest :)

The credit actually goes to a wonderful new blog

that I happened to come across...

Oh, don't you just love it when that happens???

So anyways, the blog is called

Rest Ministries 

http://restministries.com

 

The actual article that I 

got this lesson from can be found here.

I definitely think you should check it out!!

There is more than a wealth of information there.

You can even sign up for a daily devotional

to be sent directly to you email each day if you like.

If you are interested in the daily devotionals

or want more information about them,

OK, I'm off for now.

Hope you all are feeling well as can be!!

I'd love to hear some of your stories or ailments 

if you care to share!!
