We took Gwen to church for the second time in her life today. She first went when she was about 5 weeks old and she slept the whole time. Since I'm obsessed with her getting enough sleep, I was worried about her schedule getting messed up and her being awake and then screaming as we rushed out...
She slept on the way and woke up as we walked in. Uh oh, this won't be good, I thought. Jeff and I discussed the game plan: we could leave early and get breakfast, or wait through mass and then go straight home so she could sleep. She already was low on sleep for the day since she didn't take her long morning map. We took her out of her carseat and she looked around. After about 45 minutes, she fell into a deep sleep in my arms during the song Here I Am Lord. She was so precious. I prayed as I held her and thought how blessed we really are.
I think a lot about how there is so much sadness in the world, and things happening to the people around us. I prayed for all of them today. I know there must be heaven because I have an angel here in my arms right now, and I pray God keeps her safe and protects her from sadness, like He has for me.
