The kids are all in bed, and I'd be lying if I said this wasn't my favorite part of the day. The day was good, but this is better; chilled out kids who had a fantastic day, sweet prayers, lax time with my best friend, everybody home, the sound of the furnace, and the peace of another blessed day with them all.
As I was upstairs tying loose bedtime ends, I overheard the girls...
Layla: Maleah?
Maleah: yes, Layla...
Layla: what does 'I dare you' mean?
Maleah: well.....
Layla: and how about foolish, Maleah? What does that mean?
These girls. Hardly a year and a half apart. Do they have any idea how blessed they are to have each other? I'm so thankful for their friendship and look forward to the years they have ahead. I have two sisters. I know the blessing. And for that, I am so thankful.
Just when I think it's my favorite time of day, I hear bedtime conversations and my favorite time gets even better. Ahhhhh, finding rest in this gift.
