Pit Stop or Rest Area?

Would you consider your home a pit stop or a rest area for your family? What I mean is – are you only coming home long enough to change clothes, eat, and sleep between activities or are you living life with your family in your home? If you answered yes to the first part of either question, then it is time to take a look at how busy your family’s life has become and make some changes.
Consider the following verse:

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

Here are a few simple changes you can make to free up more time with your family:

• Limit extracurricular activities for both you and your kids.
• Unplug from the computer, phone, and the television.
• Add family time to your calendar and work everything else around it.

Be selfish your family time and don’t apologize for it. Turn your pit stop into a rest area today.
