Sincere heart

Last night when I was tucking the kids in bed, my 8 yr old daughter grabbed my kneck and held on tight as she started to speak with tears in her eyes. 

"Mommy I'm so very grateful for all that you do, you love us so much and I love you. And God loves us even more! You are a wonderful mommy."

I told her that mommies need to hear that every once in a while and that she just filled my heart so much. We talked about just how Amazing Gods love is for us and  how Big it is and we will never really truly understand it. 

She began to thank me AGAIN, for God answering our prayers about having another baby and then when He answered her prayers and it was a girl. 

I walked away knowing, that this year in my daughters life she has seen Gods hand in a way that she is understanding His love for her. That her desires and hearts prayers matter to Him. 

She followed her daddy into her brothers room and shared a similar heart with them, when I came in they were finishing their prayer time together and my oldest son Judah said with tears in His eyes "mom can I pray for the baby?" I said of course you can... So he prayed protection and health and wholeness and Gods timing on her delivery. 

My youngest son then wanted to pray too- his 5 yr old heart came out and he prayed his best big brother prayer over his little unborn baby sister, that she would not being bullied and that he'd love her FOREVER and protect her everyday. 

I have to tell you I went to bed with a very full Love tank and a peace in my spirit that only God can give. My children are learning how to trust God, in the big things and in the daily living of life. This is the greatest gift we could ask for. 

-Be praying with your kids, speaking with them about the Lord, they won't learn what they need to know about Him by attending a 30 min class once a week at Sunday school. They learn by watching and listening, and doing. Be an example, be real before them just as you should be before the Lord.... Let them see how much our Heavenly Father cares for us and wants to sit and talk with us. He LOVES us sooooo much that at our greatest and softest we can't touch how much His love is for us. 

This baby will be entering my family soon.  A family that desired her and prayed for her years before she actualy came about. I know that we are learning so much together because of her and what she will be in our family. We are determined, and crazy, and funny, and BUSY, and loving, and we love her already! 

God bless you today!
