Life is stressful around here on so many levels.  And yet, as I held my sweet firstborn this afternoon as he sipped (okay, more like inhaled) his milk-filled sippy cup, all was right in the world.  I felt my whole body relax as I held him close to me, thanking God for the miracle sitting in my lap and the other growing within me.  And at that moment, I knew God was keeping my family close to Him, just as I held dear Thomas close to me.  We'll get through all of this...and I think it's going to mean a lot more intentional taking time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, even if it's simply during milk time.
