You know those women who have children, and they look around and think someone is missing, yet all of their children are there? Some women then take that to mean, that someone is literally missing in their family, and they need to have another child.
Not to say this doesn't happen, everyone has their own way of recieving spiritual promptings. But as I have had the feeling that someone is missing three or four times lately, I have come up with a new meaning for this feeling to be happening.
I live my life at such a pace that the world often seems to be spinning. It is all too often I am running in the car from here to there, thinking to myself, "I have got to slow down." When, in rare moments, the world does seem to slow down, it is then I have had these feelings of an absence. I have come to believe in my own life that this is due to the lack of "motion." Motion in this case can be, lack of; nagging, whinning, crying, hitting, or just plain out craziness.
In no way do I feel the Lord is telling me at this time that I am supposed to add to my "motion" with what I am sure would be another BEAUTIFUL Farr baby. I love my children, and though the world I live in may be spinning, I am grateful for the company on this crazy ride called life.
It was just a thought.
PS This thought comes after sacrement meeting alone with my four kids, where I left the bottle at home on the kitchen table, and wore a dress to church! Spinning....Spinning...Spinning...
