I'm in a season of little sleep.... a very long season. So, it was no surprise when a visitor entered my room at 5 am. I motioned for my oldest child to climb into bed with me, and she responded by lifting up a tray of breakfast, "Happy Mother's Day!" My body had no desire for food, just a consistent amount of sleep longer than 1.5 hours. I forced a smile and took the tray only spill the water all over my side of the mattress. Although I could feel frustration inside of me, it didn't put a damper on her joy. She was beyond thrilled to share in this gift with me. It's the end of the day and I look back on this morning and laugh. Her excitement was comical. What is even funnier is that it isn't Mother's day at all. W hen I later told her, she jumped up and down saying, "Yay, I get to do this again!" Seeing her servant's heart is worth the lack of sleep .... at least this time ;).
Steadily Taking in Each Moment... and sometimes taking the time to write it out.
