Is This Heaven?

This morning my eyes fluttered open and there above me was this precious face. You know...close...like right there...face to face...practically touching. Precious Emmie was smiling sweetly and gently stroking my cheek to wake me up. When my eyes opened, she leaned over and planted a kiss right on my mouth and laughed. Then she threw herself into my arms. Ahhhhh....what a nice way to wake up instead of to a screaming baby! On the other side of me was MaryAlyce and she stretched and opened her eyes and smiled at me. Then we all giggled, snuggled and played together for about 20 minutes before we got up. As I was laying there, at one point, I thought to myself....this must be what heaven is like...or close to it....peaceful and sweet, surrounded by those you love. What a great way to start a day. I love how the bonding is going! I must admit...I have been fussy about the kids crowding my bed, but I repent! I am thankful to God that they seek me out for love and comfort and that they know mommy's arms are a place of refuge from scarey thoughts, dark corners, creaky floors and spiders!
