There are these moments I am blessed with on a regular basis which I am especially appreciative of. Those dark mornings when my son has a bad dream and he comes to my side of the bed for comfort. Some mornings I wake up to him snuggled next to me and I would rather he just sleep so I can just drink in every moment of his innocent love.
Just yesterday morning he woke up early and found food for himself, after about an hour or maybe more he came back to my bed and asked to cuddle. We were cuddling when he fell asleep and then I thought of the calls I needed to make and the data I needed to enter and I knew I had to get up. My little man would not have me leave, he had a slight fever and I could tell he wasn't feeling well, but it seemed as if he knew I would want to get things done. Before he fell asleep he had put his leg over my legs so if I tried to move him just enough so I could escape, he would wake up. It only took 2 tries before I realized that this moment was much more important and memorable than any phone call I could make or any cleaning I could do.
I don't remember being so content to being stuck in my life. Just cuddled next to my son, looking at him and our little dog and just thinking of the great times they have created in this house.
I am so grateful for those moments when I can just stop and enjoy my life, because after all there is so much more to enjoy in this life of mine than I could ever convey to another. Every day is filled with moments of tender mercies of a God who cares for me so much that I could never conceive. I am grateful for the ways that His love is shown to me every day.
