A Little Bit Is Enough

We're in a nice little place of rest.

Tate is doing much better. Without such intense ear pain, he is sleeping soundly from 7pm until morning. I feel so refreshed after a few hours of sleep! I've actually had time to dream- and it has been months since that happened. (I'm one of those who remembers their dreams.) The kids' coughs have subsided, so everyone is sleeping better.

Braden's "intensive" class isn't as intensive as I feared it might be. He has actually come home by 4pm every day this week- and the change has been dramatic! It's the most time we have had with him this year. The kids are loving play time with Daddy and he and I are thankful for the extra time together AND for all the things he has been able to get done.

We now have bikes hanging in our garage (two of the seven!- but that's another story). This project has been on the list since we moved in two years ago! He has also replaced some screen on the back porch, helped with the garden, and been a general handy man. Boy, am I lucky! He's an intellectual AND a handyman. (I really feel loved when things around here are taken care of.)

Just these little bits of time have made a huge difference. After groaning to the Lord for weeks that I couldn't really bear anything else, He has provided some moments to recover. Just this little bit, I'm thankful for.
