Contentment

Today I feel content. Weird. This is weird because, on a normal day, when Isaiah is napping (as he is right now - BLISS) I am trying to clean the house ever-so-quietly, so that I don't wake him up. He's the lightest sleeper ever when he's napping, only at night time can we be even remotely loud. In fact, as I type this, I'm wondering if the 'finger-to-key- noise will wake him up. Crazy, right?
Anyway, today I don't feel like cleaning, and I'm OKAY with that. Today it doesn't bother me at all that the dishwasher needs emptying, the living room needs dusting and the kitchen needs cleaning before we have company for Bible Study tomorrow night. I am completely content about the fact that I can clean later, after nap time.
I think my contentment comes with how I started my day. Rob left for work at around 6 this morning, and quite often, Isaiah will wake up at around that time too (light sleeper, remember?). Today was one of those days. Isaiah was awake, but I could tell he was still super tired. I tried to put him back down, and he stayed quiet for about another hour - and I decided to stay awake and do my devotions. It's AMAZING how much better of a day I have when I start it this way! Seriously! It's the same with church. I hate missing church. I mean, I'm not going to go if I'm sick or whatever, but if I just don't go because I don't "feel like it" I find myself not feeling like doing much of anything for the next week. Even though I usually end up sitting in the baby room with Isaiah, it's okay. He'll figure it out already, and eventually will sit nicely in church. It's so important to me,as a mom, that I get my children accustomed to attending church regularly. Thank goodness I had parents who did that for me! What a blessing to have grown up in a loving Christian family.
Ahh. It's a happy day in the Friesen house. :)
