Mixed Media Piece
~focus on the things that matter most~
I immediately obeyed, of course!
So I started playing with paint and vintage papers.... Good times!! She called me after a couple of hours and had made and decorated cupcakes, plus the kitchen was alive with fun personalized valentines day hearts....
In the mean time I had made this little mixed media piece.
I am a lucky mom!!
I got time to create, plus I have a daughter who wanted to surprise me....
:)
Sometimes it is so hard to focus on those things that are truly important in our lives. Mothers like me often get so busy doing the busy things
that we forget that which is most important.
Twenty, thirty years from now, it probably won't matter so much that my dishes were out and laundry was on the floor when unexpected visitors arrived.... Yet I worry about those.
What will matter?
I would venture relationships.
with our children,
with our spouse
with others....
That we were true to our moral convictions....
focus on the significant,
lift up our eyes,
and truly see the things that matter most.
