		<title>Clean Floors are for Playing On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The end of 2011, and I&#8217;ve definitely not been regular here! But I had a thought today that might be a good way for mothers (and other people!) to pass from one year into the next. It&#8217;s just this question: does it matter? I remember being a child and the wonderful feeling we got when [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Superwoman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not Supermom. I&#8217;m not even a good mom, sometimes. Lots of times? We eat store-bought bread. (And spaghetti sauce. And cookies. And yogurt.) Somebody else folds my laundry. I never (and I really mean never) wash all my windows. Or my floors. My two year old doesn&#8217;t know his colors. Or shapes. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Limitations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been one of my bad weeks, which means I&#8217;ve had plenty of time to sit around and think. Think of all the things I want to or ought to be doing, and of a dozen wonderful ideas that I would love to do someday but doubt I&#8217;ll ever have the energy for. Limitations force [...]]]></description>

		<title>Answered Prayers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I asked for a place To belong; God gave, instead, Belonging to Him. I asked for smooth roads; Instead, God granted me wings To rise up and fly. I asked Him for peace; He made me a peace maker And then sent me forth. So all my prayers He answered in His own way; And [...]]]></description>

		<title>In His Tabernacle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.&#8221; Psalm 27:5 I&#8217;ve known it all my life &#8211; God is our refuge. But for some reason yesterday this verse struck me differently. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Least of These</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t possibly be the only mother who sometimes feels as if she is not serving the Lord the way she wishes to. We are so busy &#8211; washing dishes and laundry and dirty little hands and faces, picking up toys, drying tears, teaching, listening, helping &#8211; that we have very little time left for [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Overdrive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mind has been in overdrive the last few weeks &#8211; I have trouble getting it to slow down enough to really &#8216;smell the roses&#8217;, or to enjoy the moment, the now. It feels like a cascading pile of to-do&#8217;s that is increased every 10 seconds and is threatening to slide chaotically off my mental [...]]]></description>

		<title>Childhood Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately of my favorite memories from growing up. As my own children get older, I find myself wanting to give them the kind of memories that they can go back to all their life for comfort, peace, and inspiration. The kind of memories my parents gave me. My family had [...]]]></description>
