These are the moments........

These are the moments........

You know how when you try to hold on to a moment,

a look, a feeling so tightly..... it just slips through your hands?

It’s like trying to grasp at air.

Trying to grab & hold the wind in your hand is fleeting,

and in trying to do so...... you loose most of what you were trying to capture.

I feel this way tonight.

I want to breathe in and out so deeply that these moments sink into my bones.

I want these moments of pure love & happiness to resonate in my pours.

I want to be able to capture these moments in my heart.

I want them permanently implanted in a mind,

so that I may call upon them on days that aren’t as bright

& nights that are not so warm.

These moments... these nights of pure routine,

and nights that most consider ordinary..... I have found spectacular.

A night with my family, my husband, my silly dogs,

a warm moon & stars, a cozy home,

a slight breeze on a scorching summers night,

and a daughter that I prayed for my whole life softly sleeping through it all.....

These are the moments I wish would last forever.

Bliss has found me & I wish I could capture it in a jar & keep it with me always.

I will try not to fight & resist & capture the moment as is passes through us.

I will try instead to breath in & out .... and enjoy & savor every moment.

I will thank you Lord!

I thank you for a kind of happiness & purpose I never could have found on my own.

Through You,

Your plans,

and in Your time..........

You have given me so much more than I deserve..... And I thank you!
