Nighttime feedings

My son Mason is nearly 5 months old.  He usually sleeps through the night, but for the last couple of days he has been waking up (sometimes twice at night).  This has been quite difficult, as I have 3 other children ages 4 and under to care for during the day.  Mommy needs her rest.  The 2nd time he woke up last night, I really struggled to get out of  bed.  Finally, I thought, “Eucharisteo preceeds the miracle!”  As I thanked God for my precious son I jumped out of bed with energy and entered his room.  I put my babe to my breast and watched him as God provided his nourishment through me.  What an awesome God.  As time drifted, I began to meditate on Scripture and review Ps. 19 and Col. 1:1-3.  It was such a blessing to think on God’s Word as I sat with my little guy.  Eucharisteo preceeds the miracle.

I'm keeping a list in a journal of gifts...not gifts that I want, but gifts that I have.  Seeing God in my day is making me joyful...it's changing my perspective. it's drawing me to the Lord.  Here are a few other gifts:

 

1.  Seeing Rae in a bathing suit over her pants.

6.  Watching Macky Boy party like it's 1999 after he potties.

9.  Listening to Halley telling Rae and Macky Boy a story about God. 

10.  Mason's toothless grin.

25.  Eddie cooking dinner.

41.  Smooth writing pens.

48.  Quiet time while 3/4 of my brood slleps.

50.  1 Peter 1

 

Won't you join me in counting your gifts?  What are you thankful for?
