A nap.Sweet sleep.
A few moments of respite in a busy day. That's my simple pleasure.
Resolved to write about those moments, I searched for a photo. I found the perfect one.
My son and his son. Sweet sleep.
"Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted in the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)
He said that all in one breath -- be still, and I will be exalted. Our stillness, our calm exalts Him. Our peace draws attention to our Source.
I need to remember that. A simple pleasure for me, that brings pleasure and honor to Him.
Rest.

I remember these moments when my children were small, and my hubby will cuddle with them in the easy chair to take a nap.
They knew daddy was ready and so were they :)
Just precious - thank you for sharing.

Laura, this post is a picture of peace and stillness and calm. I agree. Perfect. Thanks so much for linking up today. I needed the message here.
That simple pleasure is exquisite!
First of all, the photo is perfectly beautiful -- love that sweet child's peaceful face!
And secondly, yes we are indeed on the same page today [sorry you had trouble with Disqus...honestly I am a bit befuddled by it, too!].
Great simple pleasure and awesome truth! Precious.
I love this message. I need to hear it. Life is just too complicated right now. Thanks Laura.
Just looking at this photo makes me breathe a little slower :-)
It is simply beautiful!
God bless you..Trish
Thanks for including the full verse. I always stop at the be still and know part. What richness to read the rest of it! And that photo? It brings tears to my eyes. Seriously.
Beautiful picture and a powerful Word from the Lord. Thank you.
Great picture.
I love the pictures I have of my hubby and any of our three kids cuddled together and naping.
They are the best pitcures!
Such a sweet photo. A framed print would make a great Father's Day present for your "boy!" (I saw in your Friday's post, you asked if you would ever start calling them that. I doubt it. I still say "my girls."
I love this! :)
