{Best of ...} It's Quiet in my House

{Written one sweet morning, this post captures how I feel about that tender early morning time I share with the Lord.}

It's quiet in my house.

I am wrapped up in my favorite quilt. Everyone else is still asleep.

I can hear the cars moving outside but they are few. The quiet glow of the laptop screen is the only light and the clicking of the keys as I type creates a steady rhythm that soothes me.

It's quiet in my house.

In an hour it will be chaos.

"Where's my bookbag?" "What's my snack?" "What time is it?" "We need to go ... NOW!"

But right now, it's quiet in my house.

I am wrapped up with gratitude for all the joy and blessing in my life. Surrounded by people and things that remind me of the God that has given His very best ~ His only, dearly loved Son ~ for me, though I am so unworthy of such a gift. So I will wait a few more minutes before waking them up ... and savor the sweetness of sitting in the presence of God.

It's quiet in my house ... and I can hear the gentle breeze of God washing over me.
