What’s your favorite time of day?

When my children were very young, my favorite time of day was the end of the day. Not because the kids were going to bed, well it was that, but honestly, it was the bedtime routine.

Baths, lotion, pajamas, stories, prayers and rocking them to sleep. It was the silliness that always ensued at bedtime, it was different somehow. The stories with favorite books with worn covers and shiny pages, the clean smell from my babies, the million kisses and one more hugs, and the 5 more minutes before you turn out the light. Their sweet faces when they finally fall asleep made my heart ache.

And all these years later, it’s still my favorite. It’s when I have my quiet time with God.
