I was planning on getting on here tonight and sharing with you how long my week has been, how little Arrow has slept, how overwhelmed I feel, and how this transition from 3 to 4 children has really caught me off guard and thrown me. But then I started uploading images from the last few days...........................
..................and I paused...........
..........and I looked at the beautiful faces of my children, smiling with pure delight, and all I see is joy, and all I feel is love.

There is love here.
Oh, Lord, PLEASE help my children to feel it, despite me.
They do feel it, Jen. And they will continue to feel it. You are the embodiment of love and though you aren't perfect, your consistent presence will steady and encourage them all their lives.
ReplyDeleteI just had a fourth baby join our family and that's my prayer, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI certainly feel the love! They do too! It's so hard as Mom's to manage our hormones at times. Oh their sweet faces! I just love how the older ones want to include baby in play too - it's a beautiful thing!
ReplyDeleteJenny, I totally struggle with the same thing. One minute I'm savoring a moment, an expression, a word....next I'm crying to Jesus to help me!
