Immensely Favored

Some days I am so overwhelmed by the bustle of the Johnson household. It seems there is always something to be cleaned or made or a fight to break up. The mere task of keeping 7 people fed and cleaned up after is a full time job in itself. Tonight as I sat in my recliner with my lap top writing and listening to Dallas read her two school books to me.  I simultaneously answered questions from Mallory and Cassidy, and held baby Leland in my arms. Lee and Alana were sitting a few feet away watching UFC fights with the volume up loud enough for the nearest neighbors to hear. I was asked by Dallas every few minutes "are you listening Mama?" " Yes baby I am" I replied, trying to sound completely interested. Then I close the screen to my laptop. I survey all that is going on around me. My precious family, my life, I wouldn't have it any other way. How favored am I? Immensely!
