I went to sleep late last night but not because I didn’t go to bed. My neighbor was singing. Our bedrooms share a wall and she sings in her bedroom quite often. Last night she was singing hymns as I was trying to fall asleep. Her voice is insanely beautiful and I can’t imagine how great it would be without the wall in the way.
At first I found myself frustrated because I really needed to sleep. But I relaxed, took a breath, and realized she wasn’t going to stop singing. The more I thought about it I thought about how lucky I was to be serenaded asleep by such an amazing voice. Every situation is an opportunity to give thanks to God for every little thing that comes our way. I just wish I’d be more mindful of this. Sometimes the simple things really are the most important things.
