Thank You Glow-Worm

Every night I lie down for a few minutes with my children, Chloe and Andrew, to help them fall asleep. Last night they fell asleep very quickly; so tired from their day of being little busy-bodies. While they were sleeping soundly Chloe's little glow-worm was still playing music with its soft little light. Their faces were so beautiful and angelic in that warm cozy light. I had the most content happy feeling sweep over me; life just doesn't get any better than watching your sleeping children. I had to give Glowie another squeeze just so I could savor the moment and say a little prayer for them. There are lyrics to a song that goes something like "It is only for a moment you are mine to hold; Heavens plans for you will all too soon unfold....may my love give you roots and help you find your wings." I've only heard that song a few times but it so clearly states what I want for them; a good sense of who they are and the sacrifices that were made for them and, confidence that they are loved; all of which will enable them to soar. Its funny, we think we have to work so hard and have so much to be happy, but really all we need is each other. I thought this blog might help me to hold onto those treasured peaceful moments and little revelation so that I could reflect on them when life gets a little chaotic. Of course I'll use it for all the amusing not so peaceful, just want to scream at the top of your lungs moments too.
