As we move through adulthood, we experience many temptations, not all of them as obvious as others. You may have escaped the temptations to drink, drug, run around, steal, or break other laws, (or you may not have!) but we can become slaves to the world in other ways; by becoming a workaholic, volunteering so much your family doesn't remember what you look like, hiding away playing video games, or working on your computer...turning away from the blessings you've been given, whether they are children, close friends and family, a loving spouse, or pets anxious for your attention.
They say that no man on his deathbed every wishes he would have spent more time at the office, and I tend to believe that is true. We all need balance in everything. You have the power to bring that balance to your home and to your life. Maybe you've turned away from that because your life isn't "perfect", and you're waiting for a new spouse or a new baby to complete that perfect family you've always dreamed of.
Don't wait. Never ever wait. You have the power to bring that little glimpse of heaven we all have inside of us, right here in your own home. Bring your family, (whatever that means to you right now) together in a place of love and peace. You don't all have to be doing the same things, just get together and *be*. Talk to each other, and enjoy each other. This is your little mirror of heaven on earth. Fill it with beauty, love and laughter. Fill it with you.
Love and blessings to you, ~Christina
