Today I am reminded why I love and need Madeline to have nap time! I love her she is one of the biggest blessings I have ever received! Watching her grow and learn are among some of my favorite moments. She is amazing, a true joy and blessing. Sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I start feeling overloaded with my own to-do lists. With my own worries about the day. With what I must accomplish, and with my to-do list. During nap time I take that time to reconnect with God, to just sit and spend time with him, to worship him,, write to him and well just be with him. Today while doing my quite time I was reminded of sometimes in striving for perfection, I am missing out on her, on enjoying her. I will always have things that I want/need to get done. I will not always have my beautiful daughter at this amazing stage of life. It was so amazing today she decided to take her walker and walk across the living room (something I would have missed if I did not just choose to sit and watch her for awhile).
So I guess that as you go through your day and your week, don't forget that although your to-do lists are important and things do need to get done. There is always going to be things to get done, and sometimes you just need to live in the moment, just sit and be with those you love. Really be with them, love them and enjoy them and where they are in this beautiful stage of life! Today I am thankful for quite time to remind me of why I love this noisy messy world I live in!
