Mornings

The boys were up early the other morning. I laid in bed and enjoyed these sounds:

Cereal falling from the box, the sound as the flakes hit the bowl seem louder as they disrupt the quiet morning. The milk splashes on top of the cereal like waves in the ocean. Finding a spoon they loudly rumble in the silverware drawer. It becomes fairly quiet again as they eat.

The sounds of birds in the trees and the rustling of squirrels outside my window remind me that spring is here. As Psalm 16 reminds us "You are my Lord, apart from You I have no good thing." These good things include the elevated sounds that I begin to hear!

The shower runs, but not for long as I hear " out of the shower, it's my turn", " did you pack your lunch", " have you seen my sneakers."  My boys are sports nuts so of course ESPN is on in the background!

Again my thoughts go to Psalm 16 " My portion and my cup is full."

Yes I love these boys, I love busy mornings, and I thank you Lord for filling my cup!

Life is good, God gives life, may we enjoy his goodness!
