Church Sunday

So at 2Rivers church on Sunday, Ron, our pastor preached on the 10 Commandments and made us all feel about 1 inch tall....

So here is what I am struggling with...maybe one of you can help...

#2: Do not make idols.

Or as Madison's book of the 10 Commandments has it...

DO NOT WANT WHAT OTHERS HAVE.

Daniel and I hang out with a lot of his friends from college. The are all great people and would do anything to help each other out....

But nearly all of them who are married live in these GINORMOUS houses. Some of them have children and some don't. ALL of them work, both husband and wife. And I understand that is how they are able to afford the really nice house (not that I am complaining, I love my house), but often I think I am the reason that we don't have that stuff...well actually I am the reason.

I love staying home with the kids and I love that I am able to crawl into bed with Madison when I wake her up in the morning....
I LOVE:
*being the first one they see and the morning and the last when they go down at night
*being able to kiss boo boos and hold them when they get hurt
*watching Parker mow the grass over and over with his mower
*Putting Lincoln down for his nap and getting him up
*seeing his face light up when I get him out of bed
*being able to take Madison to school EVERY morning
*being there as Madison runs to me when she gets off the bus
*knowing that the are in the best hands everyday of their lives
*teaching them their ABC's and 123's
*potty training them (even though sometimes I want to put out ALL of my hair)

And there many, many, many more that I could go on about for days...

So those of you that stay home is this a common concern that you have to or am I over reacting?

I just have to keep telling myself.....DON'T WANT WHAT OTHERS HAVE....

How do I get over this? PLEASE HELP....
