and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon
and God bless me."
I love this little saying. I often recite it aloud to the children if one of them notices the moon. I also hear it in my own mind when I am alone and I notice the moon.
That connection to the moon makes the world seem a bit smaller to me. And the heavens a bit brighter and wider and, well, blessed.
Even during busy weeks (and this one is oh so busy) I try to recognize those quiet moon moments. Even if only for a breath long. For in that breath, I can be thankful. Thankful for those blessings.
And the blessings are many! Here are a few I'm honoring right now:
* a warm home, when many are out in this cold cold winter
* snuggles and snuggles and snuggles with one, two, and sometimes three kids
* some unexpected generosity we've been gifted
* sunshine and blue skies, made even more brilliant with the snowy ground
* coffee my husband makes in the morning
* watching the kids make Valentine's cards
If the kids were to weigh in, I imagine topping their list would be discovering Wild Kratts on PBS. (Though honestly don't you think it should be "discovering Wild Kratts on PBS, and having a super cool Mama that lets you watch Wild Kratts. Every. Day.?")
What blessings are you honoring right now?
My blessing this morning: 3 year old playing on the floor with a baby, making him giggle. Music to mama.
