This afternoon the school called to tell me that P was not feeling well. When I got to the school I heard him before I saw him. He was entertaining the front office with his chatter. He looked fine to me (and the school administrator agreed.) Even P told me he felt fine.
Since all he would miss was nap time, I decided to take him with me. We went to the grocery store, did a little laundry and returned to get his siblings. As we pulled into the school he broke a moment of silence by saying, "Mama, I think you are wonderful."
Melt my stinkin' HEART!
Lord, I am praying already for Your choices in mates for my children. I am already beginning to grasp how very difficult it will be to trust someone else with these precious hearts. How can I trust that they treat them with tenderness, kindness, honor, respect?
Then I remember. It is not as much that I must trust another broken human, as it is that I must trust YOU.
Amen!! Oh it's so hard to think of another person being number one in my little boys life....but yes we GET to trust God to pick the very best for our children! What a journey we are on....birth to marriage....and so much more. Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh for grace to trust Him more!
ReplyDeleteAw, P is adorable! Since I'm not a parent, I can't really comment on the other part-- maybe it gets easier in that regard as they get older? Probably not though... ;)
