All on one word: Comfort

GO:

Fresh washed children in sleepers.

I remembered this week...

 I have a vivid memory of each my children on my lap

in their sleepers

freshly washed

asleep on my lap

in my rocking chair.

My old rocking chair that has lasted 22 years.

The comfort to me that rocking chair has brought...

22 years of "Happy Mother's Day" from their little faces.

That chubby little hand of my son with the dirt under his nails...

"good clean dirt" (How does that work?)

His chubby little hand full of dandy lions and a smile saying,

"Happy Mother's Day"

The comfort upon all comforts, to know that each of my children has trusted their lives to Jesus

and HE holds them in the palm of HIS hand...

That is my true comfort.

STOP

Them who calls me MOM

Happy "Cinco de Mayo"

Happy Birthday Ian Wesley Burnham

Streets

There is a cake on the table with 17 candles.

There is a man voice in my shower

And size 13 shoes in the living room.

The baritone "Good Morning" I hear

Is a far cry from the " 'ello" of yester-year.

This mysterious fellow I take to school each day

Has grown into a man size body while I wasn't looking.

So, many adventure with Ralphie and Cats in the past

 (thankfully some I didn't know about at the time)

And many,  many more adventure to be had.

I thank God daily for my 4 children and pray for protection

Each child on their own way to the plans set before them

I am so thankful "HE" knew them before they were formed 

HE has a purpose and a plan...

I laugh, I cry, I smile and not to often use, "The mother voice"

   ("Don't make me use my Mother Voice")

Lord help me to be the support in the storm

Help me to continue to lead them back to YOU in times of distress

Help us to remember you in time or pleasure as well as pain.

Thank you Lord for the man voice that sings praises to YOU this day,
