Day 21 – Peace

Peace

Christmas is almost here!

There is still so much to do.

My wife and I are handling the stress very differently—and I suspect we are adding to each other’s stress as a result of these different approaches.  She has been scampering around doing thousands of tasks.  I am in denial—and will begin scampering over the next few days.  I must trust that everything will find a way of working itself out.

I recall another time when we were not ready and had no control over the timeline.

The baby is almost here!

There is still so much to do.

My wife and I are on the road to Bethlehem to register for the census.  She is due any day and we don’t even have reservations for where we will sleep when get there.   I am must trust that everything will find a way of working itself out.

Now is the time when we need to force ourselves to take a breath, find peace, and prepare ourselves for the arrival—for when the child arrives everything will be turned on end.
