    Rosilind, YES! God is ever-present, and he invites us to “pray without ceasing” (i.e. while washing dishes, changing diapers, wiping noses), “give thanks in everything,” (i.e. while unpacking groceries, folding laundry, drifting off to sleep), “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (i.e. meditating from an index card verse stuck on the bathroom mirror). He’s in all things, so we can meet him there 🙂 Blessed from Be Not Weary today.

    Love these ideas, Rosilind! I like to listen to worship music while doing housework and try to pray during quieter times like nursing and cuddling times. Thanks so much for sharing these ideas. And for linking to my post. I’m so glad it was an encouragement to you! 🙂

    I’m guilty of not reading the Bible in the morning anymore. Part of it is wanting to read a lot more than I sometimes have time for.One thing I have done is to pray while I’m running. I spend a lot of time thinking while running.

    These are really inspirational! We must always keep our communication lines with God open through out each day. Thanks a lot for sharing, have a super blessed day!
    Love

    You are so welcome. Thank you for the lovely post – it was so encouraging to me at just the right time!

  7. I hear you, Barb! Praying while running is so great. I remember my dad saying how me meditated on the Psalm, “I will run in the way of your commandments while you enlarge my heart” while he ran.

  8. Amen! Thank you so much for stopping by. If you have a blog, would you leave your address in a comment. I’d love to stop by and visit!

  9. I am so blessed that you were encouraged by the post. I pray that God bless you, as well as you labor for His kingdom!

  11. Such a great post girly! I love GMG! They saved me, seriously! I put soooo much stress on myself before and didn’t enjoy the time I was getting b/c I was making myself feel guilty. Thanks for sharing and linking up at Simply Helping Him last week! 🙂 Blessings!

    Roz, this is another blog post that is spot on. Since I had my son last August, having a consistent quiet time and prayer time has truly been a challenge. I do listen to a lot of mp3 sermons and what I am learning to do these days is at least to meditate on one Scripture. It’s truly tough. But I am one to simply enjoy the season I currently find myself in while I keep on pressing toward the mark. Ha ! Pressing. Paul chose a good word there, didn’t he ?
    Have a wonderful day Roz and thanks for linking up !

  14. With my first two children my quiet times are a blur looking back. Did I have them? I don’t know. I did faithfully read Bible stories to them and we did Bible lessons once my oldest was 5 and he started school…as we added more children and life got crazy, my quiet time was often reading the Bible to them. I remember the day we were doing a lesson in the Weaver Curriculum and I had to read the story of Ehud (Ehud, right?) put the 18″ dagger into the other guy and lost it in his gut. I had read through the whole Bible before but must have slept through that story because I almost died reading it to my son (7yo) who absolutely LOVED the story (of course!) and thought my reaction was hilarious!! So, you can think about the Lord all day and even with your children. Wonderful post!!

  15. Thank you, Gertrude. Yes – we need press on and find creative ways to feed our spirits.

  16. That is great, Heather. Personal time is important – but God understands that for moms it is a commodity.

  17. I love the idea of praying while you do housework! Often during those mindless, repetitive motions is the time my mind wanders to my worries and such. That’s the perfect time for a little prayer! Maybe praying for each family member as I fold his or her laundry? :0)
