Linking up with the ladies from Suspicio...
These may seem small....but small grace leads to God.
-lacking sleep so badly and my husband taking the reins, remaining calm in all the days chaos, putting a few loads of laundry in for me, taking the baby to play when my daughter and I wanted to swim together (water babies!!)
-remaining in prayer every night with Andrew. We have taken on Liturgy of the Hours evening and night prayer together. This has enriched our relationship.
-my daughter came back from her dads like she does every second week. Sometimes she struggles with transition. This week she seemed to be more at peace. She was a helpful big sister.
-leftovers in the heat
-communicating about our finances in a productive way
-last night was my first half decent sleep of the week
-losing the internet for 2 days causing me to see that it can suck up precious time if over used. I don't tend to go on that much but I can see how it can become a habit. I spent more time with my husband in the morning and evening.
-finding creative things to do when we lack to income. We seem to have fun as a family no matter what's in the bank.
-somehow through the teething and crying etc....Andrew and I find time to connect nightly.
It was easier to find the little things than I first thought. Blessings on your week!
Love, love your list Samantha! So many near to my own heart. I know the feeling of sleep deprivation very well...and I know the grace of a good night's sleep!
ReplyDeleteSo great your husband and you are joining in Evening Prayer...love it!
Your moments of grace made me smile...and that is a grace...thank you.
You're sweet and happy my little life makes someone smile! Yes I am loving the 'old school' prayer. Somewhere along the line we lost this sense of vulnerability with God...I believe the Liturgy contains that. :) And of course the psalms! Your writing is very beautiful. I enjoy the blog you have and sometimes when I am reading or praying I turn up the music you have! lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list - thank you for sharing.
