One Narrow Road: God is Satisfying

Every so often, I marvel at something that has happened in my life as a result of God working.

This week (it's now Thursday) has been a Mid-winter Break from work, and so I've been home with Annah and Vivie for the week. We have slept late (for me, that's 6 a.m. instead of 4:45 a.m.), stayed up late (for Annah and Vivie, that's 9 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.), watched movies anytime of the day "just because" and had a routine-free week of rest and simple pleasure.

Something new has occured to me this week - I am satisfied. Personally, I've always been the "glass half-empty" person who wanted more, longed for different, and didn't feel "quite there." Not any more! This week has unfolded as a gift - wrapped in pretty paper and tied with a big fabric bow.

Annah and Vivie are just four, and their delights are in Fisher-Price little people and cars, dollies with changeable outfits, a herding sheltie puppy they call their own, and one Momma who loves them dearly. They love their friends and family and are learning about loving God. All they want is time and love and care.

Don't we all!

In the simplest ways this week, God has shown how He cares not only for these little ones but also for me. He has blessed our little family with the time to rest, read together, laugh, play puzzles, share meals, walk, and more. God has made this week a satisfying - not looking for more but a "resting-in-the-moment time." I will remember this week.

I will remain grateful - and am satified. Thank you, God.
