Why children say the things they do?? Geesh, do I!!!! Hannah never ceases to amaze me with her wisdom, kindness and total understanding of everything going on around her. I truly understand why God wants us to see Him through the eyes of the little children. Her thoughts are so pure, honest and loving. She sees only the good in everything and everyone.
She asked me last night ... "Mommy, do you know of a more comfy spot than in the arms of a mommy?" By the sheer grace of God I had a good answer. You know, I am starting to get those questions where I don't actually have a good answer --- those scare me. As she gets older I know they are going to come more frequently and be more and more difficult to answer. But this one, I can handle. I snuggled her tight and said "I know one place." She looked at me very puzzled as if I knew something she didn't. She asked me "Where mommy?" With great mommy pride I answered, "In the arms of Jesus." She grinned from ear to ear like I had just given her the answer to her deepest darkest question. Then she nestled back down in my arms and said "Mommy, you are so smart. I didn't even think of Him. But you are so right." I laughed out loud. I could not help it.
My job as a mom is to make sure that each and every day she knows the love of Jesus transcends all. There is no mountain in her life that He can not carry her over. There is no tragedy too big that He won't weather with her. There is no heartbreak so hurtful that He won't mend for her. And not just for her. For me, too.
He is so good ... so, so good.
Remember the words you hear from the children in your life. They change everything for you when you really listen.
God Bless!
