Our pastor said something in church today about how nothing is really ours, and it made me think about how God gives and takes away. I couldn't help but think about my kids as he said this. I was holding my little Jesse in my arms and couldn't imagine not having him.
I couldn't imagine not playing with Levi--hugging him, kissing him, even disciplining him. The thought of not being able to kiss him before bed every night makes my heart ache.
All that to say that I trust God with all that is in me. I will pray for my entire life that my kids are cared for, that my husband is happy. I don't know how long any of us will be here, but I just pray that we will live our lives well, and that we will enjoy each other while we are alive. Life is too much of a blessing to squander on meaningless things. Your i-phone is not more important than your family. Play time should not be sacrificed for checking facebook.
I love my family. Just the thought of them makes me smile, and the thought of them hurting brings tears to my eyes.
May I be a mother and wife who does all I can for those that I love!
