its 5pm in the afternoon, my husband is napping on the couch with his arms around me. the only light source is coming from our lit tree and the tv with christmas music playing softly in the background. usually, i nap with him. but today, i am unable to rest my mind. as i look around the glowing room, a profound sense of peace and gratitude sweeps over me. i cannot remember a holiday season like this one, ever. somehow, in this brief instant, i realize a moment like this may never come again...one of being blissfully in love with the man next to me, while expecting a child we have been praying for, and listening to the soothing melody of silent night in a room filled with the scent of pine... and being comforted knowing that no matter what happens, we are under His care. i feel all this during a time i should be filled with anxiety about the dramatic and irreversible change thats about to take place in my life. yet a sense of joy sweeps over me. as i lay here in his arms, i wish this moment would last a bit longer.
