Silence is golden

The house it quiet, all I hear is the hum of the refrigerator and my fingers pecking at the keyboard. Both are napping at the same time! AMEN! I had to stop and think what a precious moment this is in my day. For one reason or another, I don't care that there is laundry to do, dishes to unload and relaod, toys to organize or papers to sort through. All I care about is the silence in this house. I turned the phone off, the radio off, the TV off and closed my eyes and said thank you Lord for this time of peace. But I do look forward to hearing their little feet run around the corner to give me a big hug or to ask for a cookie for the 5000th time today (always with the same answer...later).

I love the quietness for just a moment, just enough time to catch my breath, regroup myself, and get going again. I know we all have these moments at one time or another, but this one seems extra sweet!

Nothing exciting, just thought I would share.

  3. The dishes, toys, papers, etc. will always be there. Use the quiet time to re-energize yourself, pamper yourself, so that when those precious children wake up you will be ready to enjoy them. You are a great mom!
