As a home school mom, being home basically 24/7, together, day in and day out you can easily begin to focus on the trials and not the joys. Nerves can become raw and attitudes edgy!! Soon the home can feel like a trap and not a safe haven. Stress can over whelm everyone with in its walls.
Time to take the rug out and beat the dust from it, to wash windows to let the sun shine through. Time to refocus and revamp our minds and hearts. Time to look for and see the joy.
Whether you homeschool or not, you may have similar feelings. The day to day beating you down until you are barely holding on..Psalm 51:10-12 shows us how to restore our spirit...when I read this psalm, I hear it in song...
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence;
Take not Thy holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit. Pslams 51:10-12
