shhhh

Sunday night I did not post because I didn't have any words.

As I laid down to try to sleep I thought I knew what to share but wanted to wait until this morning to confirm it was the right direction. 

shhhh

I heard it whispered, 

not a threatening, harsh, corrective SHHHHH,

no, this was shhhhhh,

gentle

kind

assuring

much like an adult soothing an upset child

shhhhhh

I felt it

firmly, tightly held,

not restrictively, 

but protectively

I was by myself,

but I was not alone

shhhhh, 

My dear child,

I have you.

rest easy.

and I listened

and I had the best sleep I've had in awhile

Thank you heavenly Father, I love being Yours.
