1,000 Marbles

Okay so after lunch that burned my stomach and a spirit filled morning at church my husband, my 2 girls and myself stopped at the Dollar General on the way home. We planned to buy some little pots  and flowers for my oldest to plant. Well walking in we started looking for pots and little seeds. Me being the book worm I am, I seen a little box on top of the soda cooler that read, 'Bargain Books' I HAD to see what was in it. I found a christian book with little reminder scriptures that are total greatness! What I found next not only was a steal at $1, but was an eye opener! I picked up the book 1,000 Marbles By, Jeffrey Davis. I read the little back part and instantly thought 'Wow! So my husband being the savvy shopper he is, he bought me these little books at $1! I was all smiles. Getting home, we start potting my daughters pot and setting the seeds in their spots and I was reminded of this book '1,000 Marbles. I handed my littlest one to her granny and picked up the book. Reading the preface, it hit me like a high raging wave. We're blessed with these little times that my husband and these girls daddy is off of work. He works a 8-5pm, Monday-Friday kinda job. Saturdays aren't our strongest days. Being he works and has extra things like baseball, I try not to bother or disturb his sleep. I wake up most times with our 4 month old at night and I really try my hardest to let him relax. After reading some things out of 1,000 Marbles I've decided and found it to beneficial for our family as a unit that we'll start doing some things out of this awesome book EVERY Saturday. I believe it'll help us grow closer together. Sleeping our Saturdays away and just watching TV when we do wake up isn't benefiting us. I'm making a promise to myself to make this change. The things in the book aren't hard, there's one that says to buy a folding airplane guide and challenge your kiddos to a flight contest! This book I believe will be good for my little family. I'll post a follow up some time soon. Till then, God bless and take care!

- Have you counted your Marbels?
P.S. We're given today and never promised tomorrow.
