I had a "moment" with Micah today when it seemed like time stopped. I was changing her diaper and kissing her sweet face, and then I just stared at her for a few minutes. In that moment, tears began streaming down my face. I can't explain what I felt- I haven't ever felt it before, but I am sure every momma knows what I mean. I love this girl with more gusto than I knew I had, and I am blown away by the sweet spirit and joyful countenance that she already displays!
What an honor it is to steward this life! What a privilege to watch her grow and change with each passing day!
Thank You, Jesus! Please give us the grace, wisdom, and discernment we need to care for her as You would.
The season is changing here in Scotland, and the days are growing shorter, but when I start to feel hopeless or weary, I remember this little piece of God's heart that I get to hold everyday. Wow...
That's all for today!
Shelby,
ReplyDeleteI still have moments like that with my girls. Sometimes I am praying while I am driving and I will look in the rear view mirror and catch a glance of one of them. And instantly my heart is full and I am overwhelmed by the realization of how blessed I am. :) My girls are used to me randomly tearing up, so it's not awkward anymore. :)
