P.S. To my last post

So, God is so good.

So, I posted the other day  that I wondered if I was allowing myself to miss out on important moments of 'time savoring' my life. I enjoyed the comments and emails I received on the subject. It was nice to know I was not alone, and to try to savor where I can.

Literally the morning after that post, I was reminded by my own children of our own snuggle time. Wait, what? We do have it??!! Why yes! It is in the morning. How could I have forgotten? Being a homeschooling family at present, we start our days slow. Each one of my children crawled into bed with me the next morning, as they most often do - which I had forgotten in the moment  - to cuddle, talk, etc. I made sure to smell their heads, hair, rub backs and tummies, and be present in the moment - our moment.

It was just a nice hug from God reminding me from a Father to his daughter that even in this current season, I am loving, and giving and getting the moments I need to give and receive.  And, they are my family's. My own, unique family's rituals. It doesn't mean I don't see that I need to increase what I'm doing, be more present, and less distracted. But, it means I am doing more than I thought and to be ever so mindful of those moments and give myself a break.

The grass is pretty green on my side of the fence. :)
