And so, I have taken this challenge on myself. It hasn't been easy and I'm not very far on my list, but I'm determined to look at my life a bit deeper, even when feeling overrun by cleaning dirty bums, shaking bottles, picking up a sea of thrown peas and Cheerios, and scrubbing an endless amount of dishes. (Boy, do I miss my dishwasher sometimes.) And even in the beginning weeks of this little "experiment," I have been humbly reminded of the gems hidden within life's routines.
Here are just a few of the blessings that I have "rediscovered" the past few weeks:
Those still moments when the babies lay against my chest with sleepy, heavy eyes.
Sales and bargains--knowing God will provide. You don't need to be rich. (Hudson modeling one of Mommy's consignment sale purchases.)
The boys' giggles as they play in their crib together.
