It is 10:30 p.m. and I just spent the last half hour putting away groceries, emptying and loading the dishwasher. This whole time I am muttering to myself that "I am going to get copies of "The little Red Hen" for every flipping member of this family and force them to read it"!!! This would be a waste of money, because each family member would be sure that the story is directed at the other family members and not them. The powerful message in this children's story would be too subtle and lost in trasnlation. Or worse yet, they would all agree that the book was absolutly correct and I should start baking bread from scratch.
Due to this fact - I will spend part of my day tomorrow reading Nicole Johnson's Book: The Invisible Women - when only God sees.
This is a book I have read over and over again, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. It is a PERFECT gift for any wife and mother in what I loving call "The Parenting Trenches". I try to keep a few copies on hand and gift them when I sense the book's wisdom is needed by a friend. Read this book and find peace in the fact that every task we do is worth it, noticed and appreciated by He who matters most of all.

I will think on that as I haul my hiney back out into the cold to bring in those groceries that don't seem to want to put themselves away this time either!
