As all you all know, life is busy around here. :)
But i have discovered something that makes it all worth while, (one reason among many)
My little Annie girl I've discovered is a snuggle bug. So now, it's bedtime and I take her into her room, we do bottle, and i take care of diaper business while she insists upon holding the bottle herself now. (who's to argue with a blond haired beauty?) and then the magic happens. She climbs into my arms and we lay on the floor, me on my back, her flat out on my tummy/chest/neck/face.I rub her back, her arms clasped tightly around my neck. Her wisps of blond hair tickleing my nose, and then we sing.
"Jesus Loves Me" is the favored tune, I sing first that she sings her version. I can make out a few words like "Jesus" and "bible tells me so"
Yes, i cried. One because she is so very sweet, and two, because hearing those sweet words on her pink rose-bud lips...there is really no greater joy for a mother.
The fact that at 18 months (almost) she knows that she has a God and that based on what the Bible says, He loves her so...it is mind blowing to me.
I know that i cannot forever have these moments with her, but i will cherish them as long as i can, and as another mother we all know of did, "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:19
Not that i am comparing myself to the mother of God, i am only following her great example and turning my little moments with my children into sweet pondered treasures.
