I recently heard a story of a man who sat on the river bank; poor, hungry, and fishing.
Just up the bank from him was a boy, watching him.
This man was catching fish, BIG fish, but every time he caught one he would throw it back!
Finally the boy asked him why he was throwing them back!?
The man replied, 'Because my frying pan is to small for these fish.'
I thought ,Oh My Goodness!!! That is just like me!
So often I, as a wife and mom, know that I can 'catch the big fish' but because the situation isn't perfect I either don't keep them or I don't fish!
For example, "I can't cook dinner because the stove top only has one burner". (It does for real. LOL).
How about staring earlier and using the crockpot and microwave? Or oven...
Or I can't organize the closet cause I can't afford an organizer.
Hummm, How about cute cardboard boxes from Dollar General (they are free;out behind)?
Let the children decorate them with reused wrapping paper,etc.
So this story taught me alot!

Hope you enjoyed it too!
