a little quiet time......

We had our first of many weekends with our precious blessing B. I spent Saturday with just my two little ones. It rained the majority of the day so my plans for some fun pics on the farm were out. Instead I found myself relaxing, leaving the never ending mess, and content just drinking in the time with her. This was a wonderful day and an important reality check for me. I was reminded how rarely we rest. It is not enough with with my family and sadly to say not near enough with my heavenly Father. It is a constant struggle to pull away from the American way and western mindset that compels us to fill our calendar with many wonderful things. But, at what expense? If we don't schedule family time, and more important quiet time, our schedule begins running us. I don't believe this is how we are to live. In Psalm 46:10a, we are told, "Be still, and know that I am God." So, again I resolve to be still....
