It's Time to Enjoy Spring

   May always seems to be such a crazy month.  It is finally springtime, and everything is blooming, budding, and sprouting.  And, the activity around here kicks into high gear with end of schoolyear activities.  Dance performances, piano recitals, chorus concerts, drama productions, art shows, gymnastics meets.  Are you as tired as I am?  I enjoy every minute of it, because it all centers around my daughters showcasing what they have learned and excelled in over the last year.  And I am proud as a peacock of them.

   Finally, we are at a week where things have slowed down.  Finally, I can sit and listen to the birds exulting in this beautiful season, watch the rustling of the newly green leaves on the trees, and delight in the beautiful flowers blooming in our flowerbeds.  My soul yearns for the slower pace, but my mind is still in high gear and needs time to match the pace of my heart.  I am more than ready to enjoy these days "out of school" where I can actually look at my beautiful daughters and enjoy who they are instead of focusing on what they are doing; to give my husband the undivided time and attention he so deserves, and too often lives without.

   Here's to today: a day to just BE, not to DO.  A day to truly enjoy the Father's rest, and to abide.
