For the first time in about 87 months, we have a week with no guests scheduled to eat or sleep at our house. Now I'm not saying that I don't like visitors. Au contraire. Je les adore ! (I love them!)
Nevertheless, I'm taking full advantage of the break:
I actually left the guest bed UNmade for three whole nights. Just because I could.
I haven't cooked a square meal or set the table all week. (David and Graham are in the States, and Chandler and I are subsisting on three main food groups: Magnum Bars, popcorn and cheese.)
I showered for a full 30 minutes this morning because I wasn't at all worried about saving hot water for anyone else.
I left dishes in the sink over night because I wasn't even close to running out of clean glasses.
During the day I actually stop and listen to the silence in my house. I thank God that I don't have to make conversation with anyone. Even my prayers are wordless.
On Saturday, I swear, I did not get out of my jammies.
I am SO SO SO blessed by all the wonderful people who have come to visit us.
But I am also blessed by a few quiet days chez Williamson. Thank you, Jesus!

On Sunday, I didn't get out of my jammies either. It was great. And that's coming from someone who hasn't had nearly as many guests as you. Maybe at the retreat we need to have a jammie day? ;)
