Sensory Therapy...

Happy Friday!

Well, since it's another snowy day here (go figure!?) The kids and I decided to just let loose again and turn on some music and take pictures (the light reflecting back in the house from the snow provides for great natural lighting). Of course, their attention span is pretty short but I got a few decent shots and they ran off to watch a movie and play with a few floor puzzles together. Generally, when they're playing together, there's no need for me... they work it out and enjoy one another so that's good for me! I stayed in the office, kept the music on and drank in the words and the beauty of my kids while working on their photos. The entire time though, it certainly was evident to me, that Eli was missing. I feel like there should be three - not just two and I'm aware of it when my head gets away from me.

There's a new song on my play list. It's called Homesick by MercyMe. I came across it just last night, not sure why I hadn't seen it before but today another mom posted it too so I figured that instead of trying to figure out the "why", I would just share it here. I also decided to post the YouTube video if you prefer to enjoy it that way (remember to pause the play list on the right first)

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times

And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you

But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry

Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways

The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know

But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same

Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes

And in Christ, there is no end

So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have

To see you again

To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

So, today has really been a sensory therapy of sorts. Between the music and the photos and the reading that I've done today, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm at peace with my reality even if I don't "like" all of it right now.
