My favorite moment of the day is walking into dark bedrooms to gaze at my two precious gifts as they sleep peacefully. We leave their doors wide open when they go to sleep, and right before I crawl into my own bed for the night, I first go to Chelsea’s room. Her mouth is usually open, and most of the time she is on her stomach. It’s funny how her personality is evident even in her sleep. Although she is still, she looks as if at any moment she could jump up and start singing and dancing.
Caleb is Chelsea’s opposite, awake or asleep. He prefers sleeping on his side, and his mouth is usually closed. The peacefulness on his face tempts me to sit and stare at him for hours. I’m thankful for the calmness I see resting on him. He needs it and deserves it after days filled with concern. The peacefulness of my little ones reminds to me to rest in the quietness of the Lord.
“I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8
