I have always wanted to do mission work. I would love to go to Africa or a third world country to spread the gospel and humbly serve others. It has been on my heart for many years. Yet, I was reading Proverbs 31 where it discusses a woman's role, specifically a wife and a mother's role. God has truly touched my heart through this verse. My number one ministry is my husband and my children. Of course, I should still share my faith and spread the gospel but my first focus should be making sure I am a Godly wife by supporting my husband and a Godly mother by raising our children with God's word and the characteristics of being humble with servant's heart. I am just so thankful for God's word and the way the Holy Spirit convicts me when reading it. Praise the Lord! My husband and I hope to one day be able to home school our children, so prayers in that would be greatly appreciated. We are both elementary teachers right now and have the wonderful opportunity to be home with the kiddos in the summer, so that is really nice.
Today, Grayson (my 3 year old) seemed bored. We had made an earlier trip to the library and for pizza but he was wound up in the house. We didn't want him out because his asthma and the Texas 105 degree heat would be a yucky mix so I thought it would be fun to make pudding paint.
All you need is one box of vanilla pudding. Make according to the box. Then I got a couple of small glass bowls and poured pudding in each. I added food coloring to make the desired colors and I let the little rascals fingerpaint and lick their fingers. They L-O-V-E-D it!!! They were literally squealing as they painted and ate it. My almost one year old, Ella, did more eating than painting but it was a fun, cheap activity that they really enjoyed!
What are some cheap things you do with your kids???
