Attitude of Gratitude, Day 6
I'm thankful for peace.
This weekend was filled with fun around every turn with my son.
We filled our moments with play and laughter and many, many hugs.
These experiences are so very precious to me.
Tonight, as we read Where the Sidewalk Ends, he drifted off to sleep nestled into my shoulder...
A quiet moment, snuggled with my love.
Peace.
Life is so fleeting.
Our seconds fall through the hourglass before we can turn time on its edge to stop the clock.
It can make our journey feel frantic and broken, unable to control so many of the moving parts.
But in the chaos and pain come pieces of peace.
Sometimes, we plan our way there (i.e.- setting aside quiet time alone).
But peace is most beautifully displayed when it falls onto you unexpectedly. It's treasured time with loved ones, a gracious end to a challenging day, the miraculous quieting of an anxious spirit, or unexplainable strength through a season of deep trial.
It's God reaching into your existence to say,
" I see you, and I will give you rest."
