Stop! .. Relax! .. Breathe! Exhale. Relax. For everything will happen in it's own time. Things will get done and jobs tackled. Everything will become as it is to be. No time to worry. Put the worry away.
Take a look at Jaxon, mommy. He's growing up so fast. He needs your attention, your focus, your love .. He needs you. Not the hurried, unfocused mommy. The best friend, I love you the most mommy.
Today I give thanks to My God for providing my family a new place to live, a place to start anew, a place to grow together. But today, I also bow my head humbly. Praying for God's forgiveness in working so hard on the outside appearance of things, that I've lost focus on the things right in front of my face ..
A growing toddler. So full of love and spunk and endless amounts of energy, love and laughter. Pulling on my hand to say, "Let's go play!" ..
A tired husband. A great provider. The man that I love, who probably knows how to love me more. Just because, that's the way he is. My family. My life. They deserve me. All of me.
Oh how fast we can get caught up in the daily grind of life. The things we need to do, or think we do. Jobs that CAN be put off for awhile, at the least. To take the time to enjoy the days. Days that we never do get back. Days where the sun comes up, yet seems to set so shortly after.
In this moment of relaxation and quiet, I will rest and just be .. Leave the house the way it is. Put off some chores for later. I'll take a glimpse at my sleeping son. Bask in his beauty as he sleeps so peaceful.
Life, it really does go too fast .. Slow down. Live .. Love .. Give.
