You...I'm so glad this could reach you, Shannon. You are certainly correct-spending that time in prayer, however "imperfect" it may seem to us, is lightyears better than not spending that time in prayer. Furthermore, I think the times when we do have kids crawling all over us while we're getting in our prayer is a beautiful gift to God.

I'll simply not do it instead of doing it part way. <br />This is a real issue when it comes to things like prayer and reading the Bible. Thanks for the reminder that it's okay if I get interrupted by kids or my time is shorter than I'd like.Shannon @ Of The Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13211053395897432251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-85238899230288113962019-10-21T06:54:22.828-05:002019-10-21T06:54:22.828-05:00I LOVE that phrase, "the smell of roasted bea...I LOVE that phrase, "the smell of roasted beans is like therapy." I never thought of it that way, but yes! Even when I didn't like coffee as a kid, I still loved scampering down the coffee aisle at the store and smelling it :) <br /><br />I'm so glad that this reminder could reach you at a good time!

I have been feeling similarly about how my prayer life SHOULD be so much better or include x, y, or z. But what really matters is taking those baby steps and doing one thing you can at a time. I am a huge fan of coffee, and cringe thinking back to the first days of discovering it when I drank the cheapest generic brand Laura https://www.blogger.com/profile/17306677582500633622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-73762342834180277852019-10-19T08:45:28.556-05:002019-10-19T08:45:28.556-05:00I am a coffee lover too, the smell of roasted bean...I am a coffee lover too, the smell of roasted beans is like therapy :) Love how realistic you are with how your life looks now, but still asking yourself how you can improve. I needed this reminder, as it can be all too easy to just give up the prayer life because the baby is fussy, the dishes need to be washed, etc.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878630481073847284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-40922577073283790302019-10-18T21:20:41.448-05:002019-10-18T21:20:41.448-05:00Thanks!

For coffe...Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this.<br /> <br />For coffee, I really love the whole beans from Guadalupe Roastery-the coffee is roasted "to order" and is quite good, and the company strives to support the coffee farmers (they have a direct-trade relationship with farmers in Nicaragua, and are trying to build these relationships in other countries). Plus, it's Catholic-owned! :) <AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-76704826412763343502019-10-18T12:04:23.861-05:002019-10-18T12:04:23.861-05:00Great thoughts!!
