Just a thought

"Busyness is not Godliness. God is not impressed with your production capacity as much as He is concerned that the product of your home--your own children--be chiseled and molded and perfected to the best of your ability. You may tire of this mundane task, but the Lord admonishes you not to grow weary and promises to supply the energy and strength as needed in this all-important task (Isaiah 40:28-31). God's strength is for what He plans for you to do--not stamina for everything you might want to do."

Oh, and I read through it and skimmed over the author--and at first thought it said Dolly Parton! Ha!

Just what I needed to hear as I am going thru the process of figuring out this ADD and anxiety thing that I got going on.

SOOO very true! And encouraging for us moms who feel like we do so much of the same thing day after day and wonder if ANYTHING is getting through!
