Give 'Em Space

Sometimes the best way to give God to your children is to be quiet. That's my plan today. In my part of the world we've just been socked with a big snowstorm and plenty more of the fluffy white stuff is on the way. My boys' college was cancelled so you know it's bad. It's a good old-fashioned snow day. And the little kid in my big kids is reemerging full force. They are silly and noisy as they play a football video game together. Usually they are working, studying, runnning off somewhere. But now they are stuck here; we all are.

I'm sick. Been trying to fight off a germ but the germ won, so I've been taking it easy, resting and writing. If I'm in the same room as they their antics hurt my ears. But they are having such fun I will not burst their bubble. I am enjoying my children behind a nice thick door. Occasionally I pop out to say hi but other than that the living room is theirs in which to call plays, shoot video enemies, whatever they want to do. I do believe they are wrestling around. Uh oh. Now I hear fake shooting noises like they are shooting each other as when they were younger. Goofy and fun. I hear plenty of laughs in between pleas of, "Get off me!"

So I'll stay away for a while. Give them space. Let them have their fun. And hope nothing gets broken!
