The Rush

Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world. Mother Teresa

Came across this quote this morning and served as a great reminder that a conscious effort must be made to not overschedule, overplan, overinvolve ourselves and our children, and we must leave time to just love and BE.

Makes me sick when I think of our daily grind of the morning routine, daytime routine, evening routine, bedtime routine and then sleep and do it all over again. Thinking hard...."what can I do to break the cycle?" We have become robots in our routines, leaving little time for love.

As your children's Grandmother I want you to be aware there is a lot of love within those two little ones---just waiting to be shared. They have great parents and thank God they take the time to teach and share. We are so blessed. Keep up the good work!!!
