I love the lessons I learn from spending time with & loving my daughter. Motherhood has brought so much insight into the way God loves us. Like today, our 9 month old was confidently crawling in one direction...towards a table edge... at which point I turned her around toward the other direction. Immediately she started crying. I tried to "explain" to her that I didn't want her to get hurt and that she would have if she had continued on that path...she had no idea what was ahead of her or my intention & then it hit me....its the way God sees us & loves us when he changes our paths and we get upset. We have no knowledge of the hurt/pain/danger/heartache ahead & that when he changes our paths its to protect us or to give us something better along another. In my daughter's eyes I was just "being mean" or simply not giving her what she wanted...but she's a child & does not know how much I love her & just looking out for her best interests.
<3 **Thank you Lord, for loving us this much & so much more! That as your children you protect us and have our best interests in mind. Thank you for blessing us with our daughter and for using her to teach us about your love, mercy & grace!**<3
