Is the above emoticon a:
- double chin (returning)
or
- nose in a book
If you answered either you where right ;)
I’ve recently come to realize that I’m free to read again.
And it has been somewhat librating!
As a mom to one I could still manage to read without much interruption..then came #2 shortly after baby #3 and books where something of the past.
Library day was for the kids section only and when I did want to read it was in the wee hours which doesn’t work when you have a “jealous” dh ;)
I don’t mind this, I’m thankful he wants my company..
Finally coming to a point where I can “trust” the quiet times around here because they aren’t into drawing on the walls or climbing on top of counters anymore well you know what I mean.
I heart reading!
And here’s why.
The one I just finished was fictionally based on the life of the Samaritan women who met Jesus at the well, you know the one who had many husbands! She was also the one earnestly sought to share this with her townsmen and who ended up bringing the town to meet the Christ.
Beautifully written in great detail..each chapter pulling me into the next.
All while reminding me how much I take for granted..even in my prayer life.
I just love how books can minister to even the smallest needs..
Now you nose where I’m headed again.
You hear that?
No?
That’s right because it’s quiet time!
And another page turner is calling me :D

I wish I was a reader, but I'm just not. I've tried a few times to become one.
Maybe it's all those years of schooling...or something. :-)
I used to read a lot (before kids...) but then Dr. Seuss became my favorite author.
I still buy a lot of books, but rarely read them.
I've found that I do better listening to them in the car on long trips. Now I'm on the hunt for some good books to take me Florida and back next month...
Howdy
A life without books and reading no way ,one must have books to read even if they are simply sitting around patiently until you can visit them :)
Blessings to you and yours.
Happy reading to you !
Happy Trails
Glad you're enjoying your reading and quiet time!!! It's so hard at times for moms to make time for themselves.
