It is soft and cut to a perfect fit so it doesn&#8217;t fall off as I do the mommy things each morning.  I automatically walk to the stove and put the kettle on because my morning date is always a milky warm &#8216;earl grey&#8217;.  My regular breakfast of organic honey and cinnamon toast is definitely comfort food and always makes me put my feet up and sigh as I eat it.  It is comforting to have the same routine each morning and always eating the same breakfast is a comfort due to familiarity.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/Sl9lLW2XwGI\/AAAAAAAAEk0\/NuBGIZ2TNBc\/s1600-h\/IMG_9240.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/Sl9lLW2XwGI\/AAAAAAAAEk0\/NuBGIZ2TNBc\/s400\/IMG_9240.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359113327380775010\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>(I could curl up around my cup of tea and stay there all day just surrounded by my thoughts&#8230;)<\/div>\n<p>Quiet time with my Lord is the best comfort (kinda goes without saying) and yet I am so typical&#8230; I have trouble getting there&#8230; getting to that quiet place to be still and know that he is Lord&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t wanna talk about that, admit that, not because of shame&#8230; but because it is so common and often talked about without conclusion&#8230; I have read plenty of blog articles about this topic and I always skim through them looking for a hopeful, joyful, powerful solution for Moms&#8230; sadly I haven&#8217;t seen it or realized it and so I am now adding my blog about this topic to the collection&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Often I open my Bible lately and don&#8217;t find the comfort in it&#8230; I WANT TO LISTEN and yet I don&#8217;t settle enough for it&#8230; I am that conflicted person, like Paul I am crying &#8216;oh pitiful person&#8230; why will I not do what my heart wants and instead do what I don&#8217;t want to???!!!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I could use more comfort in my daily life&#8230; can&#8217;t we all?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span>TTFN<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>to soothe, console, or reassure; bring cheer to relief in affliction; consolation; solace a person or thing that gives consolation a cause or matter of relief or satisfaction!
