What Matters Most

I am so sick and tired of the news here lately! So much going on in the world and frankly there's not much I can do about it, except pray! I can't worry about it anymore or cling to the news outlets for all the latest & greatest news stories. I can't worry about all the negative going on with our president, either. It's disgusting to me what our nation is turning into, but like I said, I pray to a higher power and I know that he's taking care of it so I don't worry!

Last night, was one of those nights that by the end of it all I could do was smile! It was a LONG day with work and then trying to get the pool closed, my focus was on my agenda rather than where it should be. I didn't stop and smell the roses, instead, I allowed myself to drift into a grouchy version of myself. I just wanted to get the pool closed! I was over it and we were behind, so every little thing just seemed to add to my aggravation. My poor hubby, yeah, he took the brunt of it! Being a christian women, you feel when God is trying to direct you to help you change course and last night, I could feel the tug! I felt it big time, so I removed myself for a minute to grab a bite to eat and allowed my emotions to calm down. Seriously, it was crazy to think that closing the pool was the culprit of me being rude and nasty! UGH!!  Thank the good Lord for smacking down on me and telling me to get it together, because we regrouped and got the mission accomplished. Yes, I apologized for my attitude and thanked my hubby for all of his help. It feels so good to have that task done! Yayyyy!

Anyway, after a long day, the house was finally winding down and this mama was ready for bed. So,  I grabbed my water and started to walk upstairs when I heard little voices coming from Ethan's room.  Colin, loves to sleep with Ethan every chance he can! So, I smiled thinking they were just waiting to show me that Colin was, in fact, going to sleep with Ethan. LOL! However, when I walked in my heart just burst and I mean it instantly felt the warmth from the love that they have for one another. Yes, Colin was there, but they weren't waiting for me at all...instead, the voices I was hearing was just them having a brother moment with a bedtime story! ♥

It's moments like this that help me to remember what is most important! I can't get caught up with what is going on in the world today, because there are definitely some crazy people out there. However, I was reminded last night how the simple things, like a bedtime story from your brother, can truly make all the difference in the world to those who matter most!
