Share with me something you are thankful for that at first glance may seem like a hider but is actually a blessing.
Rocking a sleeping baby at 3 a.m. when we have already been up all night. Even though I am so tired and at the end of my rope, just snuggling that baby reminds me that God has probably been holding and rocking me too. Realizing that contentment is in the little moments (even exhausted moments) and knowing that this time goes by so quickly. I wonder if God feels that way about us? Does time go by quickly for him when he is watching us? Does he feel that our innocence and youth go by too fast? Does he wish time would slow down?
