Can't Even Breathe

I was taking a shower this morning and thinking about how it was the 1st time in over 24 hours that I had anytime to just breathe. Alone. Silence. It was wonderful. Those moments are rare these days with my 2 boys. I am usually always busy with one or both of them. But, God convicted me in my silence. I am so blessed to have very few moments of silence. I am sure there are many this Holiday season who long for someone to reach out and touch them. Or miss the touch of a lost loved one. Or crave the sound of another's voice...or just desire to be surrounded by people who love them and care for them. I am so blessed to have few moments to catch my breath. I pray now and always that I "can't even breathe." I love having David playing with my hair, or Daniel giving me hugs, or Garrett snuggling me on the couch, or Matt just lovingly putting his hand on my lap, or all of them wanting, desiring my attention all at once. Although I DO need some alone time, especially alone time with God...I am one blessed Momma to have very few moments alone otherwise! My prayer tonight is for those who are longing for noise and touch. May God wrap his arms around them and be made known to them to the point where they "can't even breathe"! Thank you Lord for my blessings!
