10,000 Reasons

 
This is rare. 
'Hold me' is not, but laying his head down on my shoulder, arm around my neck, these days its rare. 
 
 
We'd been to church, been to visit the new house and had a yummy lunch at home.
We'd all had a good nap.
I was putting away laundry, making no-bake cookies, putting together Ham & Rolls.
It was a good day.
 
Lance was out working on the 'jon boat' and the boy & I were in the kitchen.
I don't sing.  I sing in the car, but I don't sing too much out loud.  Without music.
It's a wee bit scary.
But Sunday, I was singing . 
I was singing 10,000 Reasons and he stopped.
Dead in his tracks.
He looked up at me and watched me sing.
Then.
He wanted me to hold him.
I picked him up, continued singing, and he laid his head right down for a good 2-3 minutes.
 
And just like that, he was off and running again.
 
Oh those moments.
 
May I always make the time to stop what I'm doing for moments like that!
 
May I always rememeber the 10,000 reasons I HAVE to give thanks!  

 
**please pardon the mess of a kitchen in the background- I know you see it**
