Quiet hour...

I love books! I love having them around me...I love looking at them...I love bookstores...I love libraries...and I love reading them! But, I don't read enough these days! :( Between working full time, teaching at UTC, and family weddings, it's been a busy couple of months! Now it's summer and things have slowed down quite a bit...I have decided that I need to carve out some time in my day to read!

Last night I went to a book party for a sweet lady in my Bible Study. She and her husband are going to be foster parents, and we showered her with children's books to fill her library! That's when it hit me again...my love of books! Oh, how I have missed them these past few months! So....I am going to do something about it!!

The family that I used to nanny for had this wonderful part of the day called "Quiet hour!" The children would go to their rooms and spend an hour either napping, reading, working puzzles, etc. I have decided that I need a "quiet hour" in my day...a whole hour to turn everything off, and just read! So, this morning, I had my "quiet hour" and it was WONDERFUL! I spent some time in God's Word (the best book of all times!) and then picked up one off of my shelf called The Letters and Lessons of Theodore Roosevelt for His Sons. I know that I am not a "son" but I hope to have some sons someday and thought it would be an interesting read!

So here's to a fun-filled summer of many enjoyable "quiet hours!"
