Sometimes I let the dishes stack up for days. and don’t sweep the floor regularly or vacuum the black rug in the front room.
Sometimes I take a hot shower at night just to warm up and unwind. and don’t wash my hair, just because.
Sometimes I get lost in a good book and neglect everything around me. and wonder why the world’s gone pear shaped.
Lately, I watch my son sleep late at night and think to myself how perfect he is.
Lately, the words of the scriptures speak to me in all the right ways.
Lately, I remember that I can’t do it all on my own.
Always, do I say I love you. and thank God for his tender mercies.
Always, do I wonder why life is cloudy sometimes while clear and beautiful at others.
Always, will this life be the best that I can make it.
xoxo
