Most Mornings

Most mornings I find my daughters sleeping on our two couches in the downstairs living room. They each have a bedroom upstairs and plenty of Barbie dolls, karaoke machines and Nintendos to keep them busy. I often times want to be agitated at them for not sleeping in their own rooms, but hey, the 18-month sleeps in our bed. 

As I continue with my one word for 2019, mindfulness, I reflect and am happy that I can wake up each morning and know my children are safe and well. I do get upset that we have a 3000 square foot home with 5 bedrooms, 4 restrooms and we utilize about 8 square feet and one toilet. But that’s not really who I am. I step back and am just happy I have them yahoos to keep me honest and humble and prayerfully, I have them for a long time and their future families.
