Stealing away Moments

So my daughter is sick today. What a horrible day for her and for me. I think seeing your children sick is way worse on you than it is on them. Seeing you child helpless and knowing there is nothing you can do help them... so sad. I have to say that, once again, I am thankful for the Holy Spirit. This morning when she called my name to come get her out of bed, I had a feeling that the day would have us ending up in the doctor's office and sure enough it did. I am not sure how mother's mother without the Holy Spirit and it's guidance. So I sit here, with my computer on my lap, hence fulfilling the reasoning behind the name, laptop... with Dancing with the Stars playing on the TV, my daughter wrapped in a Tinkerbell blanket I bought her as a get well gift and my son finally asleep on my bed. A moment of peace in an otherwise unpeaceful day. I thank God for these moments. Though they are only moments before one of them wakes up and "hectic" starts all over again.... I feel strangely reguvinated. So, to all mothers out there who are stealing away moments of your own... may the Lord grant you with peace, wisdom and strength as you go about doing the most important job on earth... raising babies!
