Feeling Safe

She had a horrible nightmare so she crawled in my lap. I rocked her back to sleep last night and just stared at the precious little angel in my arms. Granted, she takes up my entire lap these days, almost a second grader, but she has that same adorable, little face that I have looked down on for 7 1/2 years. She was at peace in my lap, and I was at peace with her there. It's a feeling like no other. A feeling of contentment, of love, and being safe.

"I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, oh Lord, make me dwell in safety."
Psalm 4:8
