"This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." I love that saying. I think if we all woke up and thought that the world would be a very different place.
One of the best things about being a mother just happened to me - and I love reflecting on all these little things about motherhood since it is my greatest accomplishment. Anyway Bella woke up early this morning and I brought her into my bed. As I was getting ready for the day, she woke up with a start (how formal is that saying right there "with a start" - I digress . . .) and once she saw me, she calmed down. Once I picked her up, she fell back asleep. What a beautiful thing. That love, that trust, that connection - the complete and utter feeling of love and safety that can just make her relax again. Oh that just made my morning. I mean think of it - it happens all the time with children and their parents. Parents are the ones that can calm their child, make them feel better when they are sick, help them pick themselves up after they fell and had a little cry, allow their children to feel so safe and loved that they can fall asleep. Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you God for my Bella.
The song in my head this morning is Keith Urban's "Who wouldn't want to be me?" How appropriate. . .
Now onto my day . . . with a smile on my face and true joy in my heart.
