The blessings in my life are many, the troubles are so few
I'm thankful for my Lord who guides me daily through
Who gave me ones to love and ones to love me, too
So I can simply say, Dear Lord, how I thank You!"
These past few weeks have seemed to go by so quickly. From planning a baby shower, to ordering engagement pictures, going to church, household chores, cooking for the family and taking care of a little sick boy- I don't feel as though I have had the privilege of taking time to enjoy rest. Our pastor has started a new series entitled "Balancing work and rest". It was an eye opener for me, to not just flop on the end at the end of the day and zonk out till morning, but to take a peaceful time and enjoy the rest...and that is a hard thing to do sometimes even though we really need to.
I tried to get many things on my list accomplished yesterday only to be upset that I didn't get everything done- I want today to be a completely relaxed day of nothing much to do. But I realize that with so many things to do there's no possible way to just sit here. Although, right now I am on this blog, I'm still being bothered by the dishes from lunch that need washing, a sick baby boy upstairs trying to get his much needed sleep (poor guy!) and thinking about my husband and how I missed his call this morning and still haven't heard from him...ughhh....many things on my mind...but what about God?
What about Him should be on my mind and heart right now? Shouldn't I meditate on Him day and night instead of all these "things"? So, one task at a time- one minute at a time- and at the end of the day I should be well pleased at all I have done. I know I need to spend some time playing cars with Charlie this afternoon. He hugs me like he hasn't seen me in weeks. I really should take advantage of his "cuddliness" at the moment.
Ok, so I'm off. I'm off to take a break, finish some pictures for a friend of mine and the little girl she has fostered these past 2 months and see what will happen the rest of the day. The Baby is kicking me at the moment. And for the first time Jeff says last night, "the baby is kicking." Yep! I feel it all the time, but he felt it kick him this time! :D For a little while left the three of us lay in bed...in November it will just be the two of us again...hmmmm....life is so good!
