Resting on a Monday

By

She’s eaten.

Had her diaper changed.

I doubt you want to see a photo of that!

Played on the floor.

And laughed at the cats.

She’s had her way.

But now she struggles.

Thrashing this way and that.

I know what she needs.

But she does not want to give in.

We try the high chair and the swing and the Bounce Bounce Baby entertainer.

We walk.

We sit.

We look at the the trees.

We watch the birds.

Until finally.

She’s ready to let go.

To give in.

To relax in my arms.

And rest.

Grateful for:

Travel mercies for my husband.

Fever reducers.

Baby giggles.

Sunshine and snow.

Chocolate.

His Word.

A friend’s unspeakable gift (you know who you are, and I LYI.)

Branches that praise.

Bird ballets.

The One Who knows my every need and gives me rest.

Walking in gratitude with Ann in A Holy Experience.

  4. P.S. what a nice problem that somebody has to convince you to sleep and you can just sleep when you’re tired! Hope her sister is feeling better.

    • Oh, Susan. That means so much coming from you. I can’t wait to get a big girl–grade school–camera to replace my baby one.
