Singing Morning

This morning was song morning. I woke up, slowly woke the baby and sang, “When I wake up in the morning, Lord/And the sunlight hurts my eyes.” I thought instead of the sunlight hurting my eyes, because all my windows are covered by sheers and curtains and anything else my mother can think of so no one could look inside our house, I get to wake up and see this precious little face and I thank God that He blessed me with the privilege of being Layla, Rowan, Jory’s mommy.

Then instead of turning off the TV which Oma leaves on in the mornings, I turned it to CMT and it was playing Shania Twain songs. I picked up Jory and sang to him, “You’re the reason I believe in love/And you’re the answer to my prayers from up above/My dreams came true because of you/From this moment/As long as I live/I will love you/I promise you this/There’s nothing I wouldn’t give/From this moment on/I will love you/As long as I live/From this moment on.” Jory laughed and giggled as I sang with tears in my eyes. I put him down and grabbed Layla and sang to her. Then I grabbed a constantly in motion in my arms Rowan and sang it to her too. Sometimes I can be such a sappy romantic.

Yes, the terrific trio can drive me absolutely batty and drive me to the brink of insanity, but where would I be without them? They are such a blessing. And I am in awe and completely humbled that God entrusted them to me to rear and the amount that I love them is a drip in a bucket compared to how much He loves them and me.
