Do you ever feel like those you care about most tend
to get “less” of you instead of the “best” of you?
I often do. Yet, I long with all my heart to put my head on my pillow each night with a smile on my face, knowing I lived and loved that day with no regrets.
Sounds impossible doesn’t it? Living with no regrets…
- No regrets about the time I spent with my family or the time I spent at work.
- No regrets about the commitments I said “yes” to or the ones I “passed” on.
- No regrets about the way I did or didn’t spend my soul seeking and serving God.
But how? How can we give more of our “best” than our “less” to those we love? How can we recapture the {us} in the midst of our rush? I’m finally learning how.
Not perfectly. Not even consistently. But I’m learning… Slowly learning.
Page by page. Chapter by chapter. Decision by decision as I read my new all-time favorite book, written by one of my closest friends: The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst. And, did you know Lysa invited us to her house to hang out and talk about all of this….and more during #TheBestYes Dinner webcast. You, me and a few friends from Proverbs 31 Ministries! I hope you’ll join us.

There were 7 ladies at the dinner who left a total of 27 kids at home. Jesus doesn’t see them as interruptions, but instead, he sees them as invitations. Thanks for the giveaway!!
7 ladies, left 26 kids with the men! Excited to read this book someday; love the ‘commercial’ at the beginning – makes me want to get up extra early for that time alone with my dh. …and I’m already thinking that the silence, like Ken said, will someday make me really sad.
There were 7 of you and 26 chdren at home with their dads! Love this and excited to find the “us” in rush.
