The kiddos and I spent a "full" day together but really didn't do anything unique or out of the ordinary and I am trying to be ok with that in the midst of this challenge I have given myself. We did have a great time with Rudolph stickers that I bribed them with ($1 bribe...I will not feel guilty about that). There are new masterpieces on my fridge now.
We also have "full" bellies from a wonderful dinner treat tonight at Red Robin thanks to David's parents. David had a "full" day of joy because he came home with a new guitar :) More on that later.
Today is teaching me that I can be present with my kids without bells and whistles. I know that truth but sometimes in the moment I forget. Sometimes, I use it as an excuse to never be intentional with them. Preschool is teaching Ethan everything, right? One more show on TV is fine right now because I need to fold laundry, right? And so on... Then I rebound and sometimes plan way too much and overwhelm us all. Today I want to remember what it means to be "full" in the right way. Full of contentment. Full because I am ok with where God has placed me right now.
I'm reminded of this verse from Psalm 63:5 "I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you."
Fully satisfied.
Since this post has been a bit on the deep side, I will leave you with this picture. I just noticed this ornament Ethan decorated.
Sometimes you need both the statement necklace and the scarf :)
