I had "a moment" tonight. You know what I'm talking about? One of those moments where you want time to stop so you can just soak it all in. After a long day with Eleanore which included playing, crying, walking/falling, squirming, and non-stop action, she had finally fallen asleep in my arms. I wanted to memorize her perfect little face, her baby smell, her soft breath, and how she fits just right in my arms. I couldn't put her down in her crib quite yet, I just prayed over her and thanked God for this sweet, sweet blessing.
I need more of these moments in my life. Moments where I stop what I am doing, stop thinking of what I could be doing or should be doing, and marvel at what is right in front of me. These are moments I will never get back, and I don't want to be too busy to stop and enjoy and be thankful for exactly what I have right now.
I might just have to go peek at the little one once more before I go to bed...
