Quiet Moments

So I sit in my house with all my kids home and husband as well and yet not a peep to be heard....(no they are not drugged) Thank heavens for bribery... no hockey game tonight if you don't nap (yes Dennis that includes you)!!! Friends have invited us to join them in the BOX so it's a free night out! This is a first and I just hope he doesn't regret inviting us all!!! Especially because they will all be well rested and ready to party!
That being said I've had a moment to just hear myself think and ponder on the events of the past few weeks. It's always such a hectic time in December and it seems hard to take a moment for ones self to even just take a breath. I know for me I'm always thinking what can I do for ???? or what can I make and hand out to friends and neighbours to show the spirit of Christmas. On a personal note I've really been feeling like I need a project or that there's something just waiting for me to discover that I should be doing. So far anything that I have done just haven't filled that! So I'll wait, and I'll pray that I will know it when it comes my way. I have been released from my calling as primary chorister (which was my all time favorite calling EVER) ... still a little sad about that. My kids are all in school, Sarah still only part time. So here I am pondering my next move. I don't feel that it's a job outside of the home that is needed?! I'd love to be able to be an adopted aunt to little ones who's mothers maybe just need an hour or two of their own quiet moments.
Next month is January and the start of a new year! How completely great is that. I know that I will be busy with the girls figure skating club as I have agreed to be the skating mom for a group and will be sewing costumes for whom ever needs them. So I know that will be helpful for those who don't sew or know anyone who sews. I'm actually looking forward to that and to the end results of seeing the girls on the ice in the Carnival in March. They have both done so well for the first year.


When I stop and think of just how many blessings have been given to us this year I can hardly comprehend it. Through out the struggles of unemployment and odd jobs...to the property and getting things organized in order for it to be sold I know that I cannot deny the fact that Heavenly Father was watching out for us and as we did our part he has carried us through and we have been okay...actually more than okay and that is awesome. I cannot deny the fact that there is a God and that his son came to earth to show us the way to return to him IF WE CHOOSE TO. And that is what really makes me think when I have a quiet moment to myself.
