It's A Good Morning

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't help but savor for a brief moment what I saw around me; My little girl curled up in her toddler bed, still enjoying her deep sleep; the silence that ran through the entire house, letting me know that the boys had once again stayed up late ( enjoying the beginning of summer); the messiness of the house which made it known we were in and out of the house on Sunday; and my husband rushing to get out the door because he tried to enjoy 15 more minutes of rest before an anticipated busy Monday at the shop. Oh how blessed we are and sometimes we only look at what is missing instead of what we already have! At many times I feel overwhelmed, juggling my part of the ministry, my household, my church activities (amongst many other responsibilities) that I lose site of the beauty of it all. I forget that it is okay if the laundry is not finished in one day or the linen closet is a mess and I haven't organized it. I forget to slow down so I can take my little girl to the park or the boys out for a movie. Date night with my husband is left on the back burner many times because we are exhausted. But the Lord, all powerful, can give us the strength, wisdom, and energy we need to manage it all with peace and understanding. For this reason alone, it is a good morning!!
