I love the at-home regular days of summer the best.
They are simple - they allow my mind to wander.
They are restful and somehow productive.
They are peaceful and oh so satisfying as I pray, plan, work, read, think, putter, decorate, and enjoy my home and my precious family.
I could do these days forever.
Often during the school year I long for an interval of quiet conversation, removed from the demands of being a fourth grade teacher and all that goes with a full school year for my family.
I ponder much during the summer how to do well this "marathon" of life as a wife, mama, teacher. I know I need to bring some of this summer retreat with me.
Continuing little, even just bits of routines that fill me into too full days:
💕morning prayer
💕workouts
💕a quiet weekend morning for devotionals and reading
💕even fitting in 'fun' like decorating for the seasons or thrift/antique shopping brings me a way to press through until I realize it is summer once again
Psalm 36:7
How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
(9) For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
