{Holy Moments}

Moments that seem ordinary, but are so much more.


Moments that make this life beautiful.


For a long time I thought that holiness would only be found in a certain place, at a certain time, reserved for big moments in our lives.


But lately, I have come to see that holy moments can actually look very ordinary and sometimes come in the middle of our messiest, most simple every day lives.


It comes in that moment when the exhaustion of a long week cements you to the couch and the kids are going crazy...and then dad walks in the door {beyond all exhaustion himself} and everyone is back together again, hugs & giggles and lots of fast talking....a holy moment.


You stop. You take it all in, the laughing, the joy...a shared smile between two parents void of any energy, but full of a shared understanding of "this is why we do it."


It's the realizing that all the hard stuff accumulates to make up the good stuff.


This holy, sacredness of life bursting at the seams.


The quite bedtime stories with just your oldest.


The waiting up late for a husband just to simply see his face today, and it's enough.


The 2am snuggles from a teething toddler.


The way the sun spills in your bedroom every morning, a new day.


The pile of shoes scattered across your kitchen that says "life happens here."


The moments that literally make you stop {even for a second} and realize this is it, this is my life right here, right now and I am thankful.


Holy moments.


Because God is in the every day, this is where life happens in the big and the small.


Watch for those moments this week.


Happy Monday, friends.
