“All is right with the world.”

July 27th, 2007

I’m not sure who first said that, but I’d like to guess that it was a Mom of small children. Last week when we were traveling back home from Galveston, both kids were fussy and so I hopped in the back seat and sat in the middle of them. I gave Kennedy her pacifier and let her hold my fingers, which is what she likes to do to fall asleep. I leaned Colby’s seat back and gave him his cup to drink. Then Kevin and I started talking and I noticed they had stopped crying. They were both asleep! I breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at their sweet angelic faces. Tears poured from my eyes. I realized that in that moment, “All was right with the world.” I held hands with them and said a prayer of thanksgiving to God for blessing me with such wonderful children.

I know I can’t always make everything right for them, nor will I be able to in the future, but I am so glad to be their Mommy. God has given me such a great responsibility for them and I only hope I will make Him happy.

Can you guess what time it is right now? *shhhh!* Yep, naptime. Indeed, “All is right with the world.”
