One of Those Days

My heart is full this morning. One of those mornings when you can't imagine why you would ever complain.  I look at my children...healthy and happy, playing together with such happiness. Sweet, precious moments in the quiet with my husband, before the sun. Lord, You are so kind. so kind.

Life here is taken a day at a time.  Still have a list of projects a mile long and laundry is piled high, but this morning I did not budge. I sat and let my heart fill full of gratititude.  Little girl climbing and falling and laughing, climbing on her big brother, almost a man. And him laughing too.


Roaring fire in the fireplace.  She falls, a little too hard and he picks her up quick, makes sure she's ok.

And this is the story I will tell my heart today. Not the story of laundry and projects and bills. The story of the gifts. The countless gifts he gives and keeps giving. Who am I to deserve moments, days like this.
