My days are filled
with schedule now that school has started.
Dropping off "Lance", devotional time, breakfast,
"Christian" getting ready for school followed by work and then going
the rounds of picking up in the afternoon.
It's easy to get
complacent and miss out on the beauty of the "hum drum". Hum drum meaning, cooking dinner, driving
kids to school, getting bath water ready, washing dishes...I just get on auto
pilot sometimes.
Last night I had a
moment with my little Christian. I was
baking cookies, ironing, cleaning the kitchen and helping him with his 1st
grade homework. As I leaned over his
shoulder to hear him practice his reading, something made me completely
stop. For a moment I breathed in the
smell of my son's neck. It was that
smell that only mom's of little boys can love and appreciate...a smell filled
with sweat, dirt and puppy dogs. I don't
remember the exact words he read, but I could see the sweat on his brow as he
concentrated.
I just adore my
children and my husband. Sometimes I
feel as though I take them for granted.
I need to take time to enjoy those moments in each day of the hum drum
happenings of life. You never know when
your last day will come, and I want to cherish every part of what I have been
blessed with in this world.
