Is there anything more peaceful than a sleeping baby or child? Oh, I just love watching my girls when they sleep. I just love the peace that washes over them. It’s such a sweet thing to witness.
This morning Mariana was tired and wanted me to hold her, so I did. She fell asleep in my arms. It was just incredible to feel her sink into me a little bit closer and to feel her breathing get into that steady sleeping rhythm. I almost hated to put her into her bed, but I knew she’d never get a decent nap if I didn’t. Once in awhile I tiptoe by her room now just to see her sleeping all peaceful and snug in her bed. I really can’t describe it, but it’s just special to me. I thank God for our girls and my heart is blessed to know that they are filled with such a peace.
The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
