I forget which one got me here, but I think it was Lori's Simple Life at Home. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it is now 5:15 am, and I've been up an hour or more. Like eyes popped open awake. I know what that means.<BR/><BR/>Years ago I heard a very wise lady say, "If you are the mother of small children and are awake in the middle of the night but no child is crying, ask God what He wants to talk about." For me, it is almost always intercession for someone else. Wish I could say that means I never get annoyed or frustrated about the sleep I COULD be getting, but periodically, I email the folks I'm praying for while I'm praying for them, and their responses often leave me humble.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if the folks you mentioned know you pray for them at night or any other time, but it may be your prayers that make the difference at that exact moment. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for this wonderful reminder of the bigger picture!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087234985807320344.post-46397549153756548292008-05-30T20:19:00.000-04:002008-05-30T20:19:00.000-04:00I did have to smile about the dog circus.

Every time I watch her take a drink, I think, (or say), "She's re-loading." First time here, just saying hi, enjoying the posts, and that Cinderella Baby is the cutest thing EVER.2nd Cup of Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478944775613602625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087234985807320344.post-66726175147123367142008-05-30T18:08:00.000-04:002008-05-30T18:08:00.000-04:00Perspective is right.

And now, at 1 am, here I sit unable to sleep because one of my dearest friend's just lost her husband in a plane crash. It's really brought things into perspective for me as well. We are such babies sometimes, aren't we? The littlest things throw us all off kilter, when we have no idea how good we have it.
