The weather today is awesome. The high is expected to be in the lower 80’s and it is suppose to rain most of the day. {Lower 70s tomorrow! } I have the back of my house {wall of sliding glass doors which lead to a lanai} open and I am sitting here thinking about nothing and everything all at the same time. Emma is quietly chattering in the background and Mark is getting ready for work. Elijah and Easton are sound asleep in their rooms.
I love mornings like this. I love when I can just sit and contain my thoughts and unwind my overly exhausted brain. I love the smell of the crisp rain floating through my house. The sound of chirping birds and rustling squirrels. The sounds of nature doing what is natural.
So before I start my homeschooling day, and all of the ratios, non common denominators and reading {not to mention loudness} that it entails… I praise Him for the gift that He has given me this morning.
Crisp, calm quietness.

Praising Him with you, dear sister, and wishing I could sit and reflect with you on that beautiful lanai!
I adore quiet mornings, before the rest of the house gets moving. It’s my time to enjoy being with my Jesus and letting Him whisper sweet nothings in my ear. Nothing like it!
I agree. Amen and Amen. I sleep with my window up (even though my air conditioner is on;
) just so I get to hear the night sounds and the morning sounds.
have a wonderful day, Heather.
love
reese

Amen! That time of the morning is such an amazing gift and can do so much to set the tone for the day.
Blessings!
Oh how I love when a morning is “crisp”..and oh how I am so grateful that I do not homeschool my children because I do not know what any of things are that you said you were about to teach them

How delightful. I love the mornings. And I homeschooled my sons, too.
