Laboring No More (for today)

It is Monday morning (Labor Day)and I am enjoying a day with the family. Times of rest and a change of pace is good. It is wonderful to be able to hang around with the kids with no agenda; no place to go; no person to meet and no chore to complete. Well, can I hear someone say, 'Praise the Lord!' I plan to kick back and smell the roses so to speak.

You know what I have also observed? The kids seem to enjoy the laid back, lazy times as well. They seem to relax more and to be able to relate with each other in more encouraging ways. I love seeing them interact with each other.

The boys are sleeping (what else is new) at the time of writing; the girls are painting by numbers and Danna is working in the kitchen. As for me, I am sitting on my Lazy Boy laboring over this blog. Well, isn't life good. My big hope is that this day goes by slowly so that we can capture each moment.

Have a great Labor Day!
