Why is Life so Busy??

Why is life so busy?? I don't remember being this busy when I was growing up....I mean my parents were always home. My mom never had to have a job. My dad's job allowed him to be home by 4pm every evening. It was great....bible time around the dining room table at 8pm every night. You know....a great amount of family time with your parents and your siblings. I'm very fortunate to have grown up with great christian parents that led me to the Lord at an early age. I'm trying my best to do that as well. I guess I get a little discouraged when those times seem to be few and far between, due to the business of life. A life where both parents have to work just to make ends meet, and even then it's hard to keep food on the table. God never promised our life to be an easy one. For that I am grateful, because it forces me to be dependent on God for EVERYTHING !! Even producing the time that you get to spend with your family. I'm finding out as our kids get older (3 are teenagers) that they all start going their seperate ways with their friends. Making those special family times even more few and far between. I have found myself praying for that Godly hedge of protection around our family more now than ever before. I was once told that Satan keeps you busy so that you have less time with God. I hate that part of life. But, I also look at it as a time to plant my feet firm on the foundation of Jesus Christ and press on towards that mark that He has set before me. So I find myself sitting here, thanking God for the times that I do have with my family and friends. You know, the times when your children wrap their arms around you and say "I love you Mom." The times when Doug wraps his arms around me and tells me "I love you Babe" Those times my friends call or email and tell me "Hey I was just thinking about you and miss you." Those times are so precious to me. Those are the little gifts from God I love so much !!!
