JOY in the Unpacking

Source

We made it home from our week in Arkansas a little after 7 last night.  Today will be filled with unpacking, laundry, groceries, and adjusting the boys back to our normal routine.  When I opened my notebook to get myself organized for the day, I saw this quote I had written down from the Revive our Hearts podcast with Elisabeth Elliot: "Any experience offered to Jesus is our gateway to joy."  She was talking about making the rigors of keeping a home and raising children something we look forward to, anticipate, and even love doing.  On a morning when I was tempted to be overwhelmed by all the "tasks,"  I am grateful for this reminder and will get started on my list ... after I love on two little boys for a few minutes!
