Remember the Bible story of Martha and Mary Magdalene? It was when Jesus visited their house and Mary was so busy running errands, while Martha just did nothing but listened to Jesus? Well, sometimes, when I get too preoccupied with house chores, (computer, facebooking, reading, and my deep need to blog, among other things as well), I feel that I'm like Mary in that story.
I sense that I am sacrificing the things that are more important. What are those? Spending quality time with my kids and hubby. Not just by doing errands for them, not just by being with them physically, but really being with them. Engaging with them. I feel guilty when Liam is at home and asks that we play games that he likes and I say no. It's just hard because in order to have order at home, I have to let some opportunities pass, like Mary in the story I most of the time see the other one million and things that needs to be done. I hope that when I grow old and look back, this is one aspect of my life which I won't regret doing.
