Camera Life

Good morning family. Ready for this Saturday morning to officially start. Thankful for all the day will bring. God is good. There's always someone at our house. The doors are constantly opening and closing. At one point I started locking the front and back door, making everyone go in the side door. My son, with his funny self, said "pretty soon we're going to have to climb in a window to get in if you keep locking doors". I'm sharing this because I often think about the crazy-off the wall things we do at home. Sometimes I have to stop and ask myself, what if there was a camera following you? Would you want the outside world to see you like this? What would people say if they heard you say or do that? I have to be honest, when I'm in "a mood" and things aren't going my way, I would be embarrassed if someone outside my family witnessed my behaviour. What I know about myself is that I emotionally short change my family, the ones who love me the most. I expect them to be mind readers and see things the way I do. I can be a tyrant when I'm focused on a "clean house" and I get frustrated when things aren't "just right". Maybe we need cameras in our homes, maybe it would push us to be more compassionate and understanding mothers/fathers/children. The good news is, God is like a camara. He's watching and recording even though He all ready knows how everything ends. Our job is to focus on His word and become the loving/responsible people He wants us to be. We have to "unlearn" old habits and be more accepting/open in our homes. We get rated at work for how well we perform but at home there is no rating system so we fail to fully think through our actions/reactions. It's like there's is no accountability only "selfish expectations". But that's not how God wants us to be. I don't know about you but I'm choosing to do better/be better in our home. TeamCameraLife.
