be thankful they're all healthy :) i prefer to ease into the day with coffee and quiet. well, silas has made coffee off limits and quiet is hard to come by unless i'm up before the sun. so for now i have to deal with being "serenaded" into the day. chores are happening and people are getting ready for their school day. but, oh my, is it loud. music is on and people are "singing" (crooning, whistling, belting) along. what's a quiet craver to do? breathe deeply and thank the Lord for these wild, fun, energetic SOULS all around me. it's not about what i want. life isn't about being comfortable and having a serene existence. it's about hard work and learning, being shaped and molded by my Father, and using all He's given me to shape and mold my children. sanctification comes by discomfort oftentimes. besides, i suppose there will be plenty of quiet someday. most likely i'll be wishing for the happy days of being surrounded by my children.
