They permit less o..."Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world"--Sis Julie B Beck<br /><br />I'm pretty sure the Prophet's gonna appreciate the time you're spending with your family and not even care about the mess. Don't know how helpful this is, but maybe it will serve as a reminder that you're doing a good job. Yes, everyone can improve, but don't beat yourself up for what you're already accomplishing.<br /><br />Love you!pandaswat.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799428468482233068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402304058612048274.post-85462203451761771292012-02-02T05:59:06.225-08:002012-02-02T05:59:06.225-08:00I have no idea how to help.

I am constantly worried that something bad will happen, that someone will die, things will come crashing down around me. It's hard. <br /><br />Nate tells me to focus on what I can control and not to worry about what I can't. That is a difficult thing for me because there are about a thousand different things going on in my head all of the time. I think I need to simplify, try to remove what does worry me. Baby steps, I am not sure how to do it. :)<br /><br />As you can tell, I totally commiserate with you!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481910525497161619noreply@blogger.com
