| A Mother's Day Moment |
|
| |
I have noticed that the older I get and the closer I draw to God, the more my eyes sweat. They sweat over kind words, beautiful songs, during prayer, you name it......they sweat more.
This morning, as usual, we took our 5 year old granddaughter to church with us. Since it was Mother's Day, there was no children's church, so she sat beside me.
My hubby says she is me made over, and so do other people. I've actually been told what a cute daughter I have, LOL.
My eyes are already starting to sweat during the music....they usually do. Then the pastor starts speaking and this is when my granddaughter lays her head over on my Bible and falls asleep.
It was the most beautiful and precious thing I could have been given for Mother's Day. I stroked her hair while she slept so peacefully. She had no worries, no fears, no cares, she was safe.
It took me back to a time in my life, quite a while ago. A small white church. A little brown eyed girl sitting between her momma and daddy and safely and securely falling asleep on her momma. No cares, no worries, nor fears.
Momma is 85 now and daddy is gone home to the Lord. Today, how I longed for that time again. Today, I was a grandma in my momma's shoes. It felt good.
Then I thought about how wonderful it is to just let go and curl up in Jesus' lap and rest. Such sweet peace, no fears, no worries, no cares. Just resting in His love. Resting in the assurance that He gave all for me, unworthy as I am, He loves and protects this grandma.
My eyes could no longer contain the sweat.....it had to flow and it did.
A moment I didn't want to end......
Take time today and everyday and curl up in Jesus' lap and rest in His love. |
