Aaron began calling for his morning bottle at 6:15. Time after time I use the baby (whoever the baby has been at that time) as my excuse for not waking early like I know I should. If 'the baby' would wake at a convenient time I could just stay up, rather than 4:30 waking and I fall back asleep for a short time that makes me feel more tired & grumpy.........yes, excuses. But today my sweet baby boy arose at the 'perfect time'. I laid back in bed contemplating how much I would enjoy a quiet time with coffee and reading, if only I wasn't so tired......more excuses.
And as I was excusing my laziness in my mind, my husbands alarm went off and I watched how diligently he roused himself, with no annoyance or frustrations with the day ahead. I have never seen anyone face each task with such steadfastness. Everything he does is intentional, committed, faithful. He is who I want to be. My hero.
