I overslept this morning.
Could it be because I slept like a baby,
because we are watching a baby,
our precious grandson
since Friday.
And oh what a gift,
to spend this time with
this precious little boy
who just smiles
with his whole body
when he sees you.
Right now I am still watching him as he sleeps,
on a little camera
to make sure that he is okay.
I look forward to his first stirring,
when he awakes,
so my husband and I
can enjoy him
as he consumes our hearts.
This little boy
has taught me
To be still in the moment
because that
is what I have experienced
that is
what I have learned
is the secret
to
being still in the moment.
Yup,
Quite simple~
to be still is
being still in the moment
Being still even when I am feeding him
Being still even when I bathe him
Being still even when I walk him in the stroller
Being still even when I play with him on the floor
Being still even when I am reading him a book
Being still even when I rock him to sleep
being still in the moment
Is
being still in the moment
because
that is all we have~
the moment.
This little boy
has no worries
because
he is being watched every second
even when he sleeps
as I stare at the camera.
He is fed
homemade food
that his mother
prepared for him.
Only the best for this precious little boy
because he is
precious
in our sight
and
because
he is precious in
His Sight~
the same sight
of who we are precious in~
Our Creator.
We may not feel precious
We may not feel watched over
but we are
every second of every day
even when we sleep.
be still and know
that
God is God
and that
we are
His
and nothing will ever change that.
As tears fill my eyes,
because of how filled my heart is at this moment,
as I watch with great expectancy for this little boy to awake,
I also know that tomorrow morning
we won't greet him in the morning
but his precious mother and father
will watch with great expectancy for this little boy to awake
so that
they will
be still in the moment
Because
they will be
being still in the moment.
So today
And tommorrow
And the next day
And the next...
be still in the moment
knowing
that
God is God
and
that
you are
His~
and that will never change
because
The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121:5-8
