The big picture

When dealing with the daily drudgery of laundry, making meals, cleaning up after kids, referring fights, changing diapers, juggling budgets, helping with homework and all the other assorted things that make your life special, it's hard to focus on the big picture...the reason why you are doing what you are doing.

You're devoting a good portion of your life to raise happy, healthy, well-adjusted children and build a strong marriage with your husband.  You want to have a home that is comfortable and inviting.  You want your children to be well educated.  You know that what you do makes a huge difference in the lives of not only your children but others you aren't even aware of.

They're worth it!

That's why we get up every morning with the resolve to make it a good day, a better day than the one before, even though the baby is crying and the kids are clamoring for their breakfast and the house is a mess.  By keeping the big picture in mind, we can handle whatever frustration or challenge comes our way...one crisis at a time.  You're not wasting your talents and education when you turn your heart and your effort to your family.
