While you were sleeping
Your Mother's brain
Had many thoughts about
Her very busy day
Christmas is coming
Things need to be done
Write out the Christmas cards
Have the family picture taken
Then I stopped for a second
And saw you in your bed
Sound asleep like an angel
And to myself I said
I need this moment for keeps
For when I'm old and gray
A picture for tomorrow
Of what is happening today
You are here
You are healthy and whole
You have a heart and a mind
And most importantly a soul
I pray that God
Who granted me this time with you
Would give me the wisdom
To point you to what is true
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life
I want you to know
If you seek him
He'll never let you go
There you'll be
In the palm of His hand
Trust Him with your life
Your ways and your plans
This is my prayer
While you were sleeping today
That someday you'll give Jesus your heart
And forever in His will you will stay

Hi Debbie,
I hope you dont mind that I checked your blog to see how your visit with Beth went. I love your family picture. I also enjoy reading about your family. May I continue to read it? Feel free to check out mine anytime, also. I loved the poem that you put with the pic of your sleeping child. So so precious! Did you write that? Wondering if poetry runs in the family...Beth used to do that also. So, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and God Bless!

Deb, just make a card of the picture you have at the top of your blog. What a great Christmas Card Photo!
When I read the title, "While You Were Sleeping", I was thinking of the movie with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in it.
Beautiful Poem. Did you write it?
You can check out my blog any time, Jess.:) My trip went pretty well. I had a falling out with Beth (to my shame) that was not so good, but as sisters, we rallied back okay, but I can see that I caused some damage to her. Zach seems well, but I don't want to over state that given that I am not his Mom. Beth told me that he started back to school half days to keep him form getting worn out. Yeah, I wrote the poem. I get the itch to right one every now and then, but Beth is the real writer in the family. She was working on a book for a while and has had to take a break from it. Merry Christmas to you, too! I'll have to check out your blog soon.
Juliet, thanks for the kind words! Love ya'!
I love the family photo at the top! It's a really great shot of all of you. The sleeping child poem is excellent and very sweet!
Hi Deb,
I have tagged you. So since I don't know how to do tagging, can you just go to my blog and than blog your answers on your blog.
Thanks, Aunt Juliet
Deb, I love the poem. It is so good to be able to stop during the course of a day and enjoy the blessings. Keep it up, cuz!
