Refreshed

I drop frozen meat and the crock pot on the counter.  Purposefully, I leave my husband with the canning jars.  It’s 7:00 am and these things can wait.

I skip downstairs to the best book I’ll read all day and a bit of quiet conversation with the One who made me.

Refreshed, I head back up to start my day.
