I Want My Mommy!

Hey, ya'll! Hope you are all doing fine this morning! Ashley had her tonsils removed yesterday and everything went fine. She is in a great deal of pain, which was to be expected. She needs her mommy! Isn't it funny how that never changes? I still want my mommy when I am sick or hurting! And, no matter how old our kids get, we would gladly endure the pain for them to spare them from suffering! If we feel that way as earthly parents, how emmense God's love must be for us that He sacrificed His only Son to suffer and die so we wouldn't have to! I can't even wrap my mind around it...it makes me tear up when I think about it!
I think about a few years back when I had my hysterectomy...I was just waking up and the first thing I remember was my mother gently wiping my face with a cool wet rag. I will never forget that. I was in pain, but, knowing that my mother was right there to comfort me in that way was so sweet. I almost cry thinking about it!
I will always be there for my girls, too...no matter what. Even if they are doing things that I disagree with or I don't see their point of view, I will be there in their time of need. I think God is like that, only a million times more. I believe God has a mother's heart and even though we probably break it on a daily basis, He will never leave us, nor forsake us!
We just started singing a song in choir called "Your Grace Still Amazes Me". Erin has a solo part in the beginning and I could just sit there and basque in the beauty of her voice as she sings it. Sometimes I forget to come in with the choir when we are suppose to! But, every time we sing it, my heart just swells and I think about how amazed I really am by God's grace!
Anyway, I have to go give Ashley some more pain medicine...I hope you all have a great day! In Him, Jen<><
