There are moments throughout the day that are my favorites. Even if my day isn’t the greatest I still have these moments that I absolutely love.

Seeing my kids smiles first thing in the morning through my half open eyes.
When Brian and I stop and say good morning to one another after the rush of serving breakfast to 3 demanding and hungry mouths.
When my homemade latte is served to me without even asking for it.
When I get an unexpected hug from little arms around my neck.
When I let go of MY agenda and get on the floor with my kids and play.
When lunch is cleaned up. The girls are down for a nap, Mase is in his room and I have my first quiet moment of the day.
Having a snuggle time with my big boy. I know these days are numbered.
When Daddy comes home and I hear squeals of delight from the kids and I have a sigh of relief that I am not alone anymore.
When all 5 of us are laughing at the dinner table.
When only by the grace of God I have patience still at the end of the day.
When all 3 of the kids are fresh out of the bath and feel clean and smell good.
Sitting next to the love of my life at the end of the day. Often words are not even there. Just his smell and presence put me at ease.
Checking on the kids one last time before I turn out the light. Seeing their sweet faces and praying over each of them.
