I was thinking today about what a privilege it is to raise a child. We were given an incredible gift and it's our responsibility to tell her about the love the Lord Jesus has for us.
I know I fail at this so often... yet there are moments in time, things she'll say that makes me feel good inside. Like a few days ago, when she asked me what we'll do when we're in heaven, before I got a chance to reply, she said: "Will we give the Lord Jesus a big hug?" I felt my heart could burst, I couldn't think of anything I'd want to do more.
1 John 4 - (v9) In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. (v10) Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. (v19) We love Him, because He first loved us.

It definitely is a privilege to raise a child and a big responsibility, which it often feels like we fall short on... you are doing a great job and are a great mother! I think that actions speak volumes when raising kids...
ReplyDeleteLove it that not only are you making an impact on her life , but also that you can see your reflection in her glasses!!!
ReplyDeleteShe must think hugs are pretty special if that is the first thing she would do! Keep on hugging, and kissing, and loving!
ReplyDeleteOH, THE WEE PET!
ReplyDeleteI know I will want to give him a big hug :) So thankful for the way you are raising Lilah - that she knows our Lord! You are doing great!
