Hello Friends!
It’s Friday and I’m so happy.
This week has been filled with Science experiments, Art projects, baseball games, reading “The Chronicles of Narnia,” a trip to the library, and swimming.
Summer is so incredibly sweet….and busy. It hums along like a bumblebee, and if we’re awake and aware, our homes can become a hive of happily humming bees busily engaged in making honey and other sweet summer things.
Or they can become a hornet’s nest of squabbling contention and noisy discord.
I challenge myself this weekend to make my home a hive of happiness, a haven of holiness {even if summer tends to have a higher volume than other seasons}.
When the buzz of my children would usually cause me to quiet them down and hush their play, I will choose to smile instead and love them for their exuberant childlike wonder.
And when the buzz threatens to turn to angry cacophony, I will choose to be a loving queen bee, and bring sweetness back to my hive.
Care to join me?
P.S. I’m doing a GIVEAWAY on Instagram right now for an original hand-lettered 8×10. It ends tomorrow–so go follow me @writinginthestillness to enter!
