What do you want now!

Oh my good golly.  This has become my mantra throughout the day.  I feel pulled in so many directions that my kids just start to ask me something and I find myself cutting them off with a "geez, what do you want now!"  You know, I find myself doing that in my relationship with Christ as well.  "Well, what do you want now!  Haven't I given you enough!"  So, what better time than Lent to refocus my view from self to other, and God.  Instead of snapping how I feel, I'm going to take a 5 second pause and say to myself, "yes Lord, how can I serve you".  Right now the "least of these" are my children, spouse, and small sphere of friends.  When I feel like screaming, "well, what the heck do you want now?!?", I'm going to quietly say, "how can I help you?".  Christ is in my home and in my small little world.  I need to remind myself to see him and serve him there.  Yes, I'll probably fail more times than I succeed, but it's in the effort and intention that God finds an opening to work.  I really feel this well change the atmosphere in my house and how we all relate to one another.  Try it and let me know how your homes have changed for the better.
