Living with our middle daughter and our toddler grandson for a year was both a reminder of my past and a learning experience for me. Many thing reminded me of my days as a young mother especially the sigh of relief when bedtime came and there was a peaceful, beautiful little boy laying in his crib (why do children always look so innocence when they are sleeping – it makes a Grammie’s heart tender and joyful).
Watching my daughter’s daily interaction with my grandson reminded me of the deep love a Mother has for her children. Joey could be so disobedient and bad and frustrate his mother to her end – yet she still would pick him up, hold him tight, show him love by showering him with hugs and kisses. This happened almost everyday and it never failed to bless me. How Joey’s Mama loved him regardless of his actions – a mother’s love is so strong and powerful.
Every time I watched this play out in my home, I was reminded of how the Lord does the same with me. My selfishness and sins are just like my toddler grandson – I am selfish and focused on what I want and think I need. Yet, my Heavenly Father loves me in spite of myself – He picks me up, hold me tight, shows me love through grace.
Laryssa, you are such a good Mama – you love your son so well and I am very thankful for the daily reminder of how true love really is.
Father, God I am so thankful for your love for me each day …
