I’m tired, so so tired. This post reminded me of exactly what I need to do to refresh my aching soul. Thank you.

I read somewhere that *everyone* knew to leave her alone while the apron was up.

My version lately has been me, on my knees, beside my bed, preceded by a big, loud, “Mommy needs a timeout!”

“Rock to the beat of my heart.” I love that Nina.

I’m severely hearing impaired so if I put in a new praise cd I don’t necessarily hear the words, but those old hymns…I just recall a few and sing them over and over and somehow God doesn’t mind my imperfect pitch or squeaky voice. He just ministers sweet peace and I’m comforted. (Instead of blanket, I sit in an old rocker by the wood stove and rock to the beat of my heart.)
