It is dark and cold and dreary outside this morning. I can hear sounds of rain falling on the roof. We are indoors and cozy. Mr. White has a few days off from work. He got the wood stove going so we are nice and warm.
I am going to turn on some soothing classical music and put on my apron. I need to tidy up the kitchen while it is still quiet. Most of the children are sleeping. I want to do a little morning- baking while I sip on hot chocolate.
I was thinking about how peaceful life can be when a Mother settles down. When we are young and energetic, our actions tend to go forth in many directions. We want to do so many things - so many projects. We are not settled down. As we get older and more tired, we begin to realize how pleasant a quiet life can be. It is a life with few outside commitments. Our heart is at home, but so is our spirit. We are gentler. We are more focused. We walk through our days with a slower pace. We take more time for Bible reading and prayer. We have more patience for the young ones around us. It is a blessing when Mother settles down.
I think I will make a pot of soup and let that simmer for awhile. I will have Amy make biscuits when she gets up. We will have a pleasant hot lunch today. Then we will play some cards or monopoly, as if there were nothing else happening in the world.
We will be safe and sheltered at home. Even if it is just for a few hours.
Blessings
Mrs. White
