LOVED

PhotobucketPhotobucket
One of my friends who is a mom of twins wrote on her blog that one of things she was most proud of was that her girls never knew a day when they weren't loved. When I saw this onesie, I had to buy it for Allison (I would've gotten one for Bailey and Bennett too but they didn't have preemie ones). Being a parent, I have gained a deeper understanding of how God must love us, and how much God wants us to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are LOVED. My children exasperate me at times, they don't always do as I ask and can sometimes be downright defiant. Though that behavior is frustrating, maddening, and wears my patience thin, there has never been a day when I have not loved them. As Allison, Bailey, and Bennett grow older, I want them so much to know in the core of their being that we love them without reserve, but more importantly, that Jesus loves them and that they can be absolutely secure in his love. Seeing the visual of Allison wearing this onesie is a lesson for me too. We all need to believe and know there has never been a moment when we have been without our heavenly Father's love. It probably wouldn't hurt if we all wore t-shirts to remind us that we are indeed, greatly LOVED.

The times when the kids are most frustrating reminds me of how frustrating I must be to God. Parenting is really eye-opening to our relationship with Him for sure...be it His love, discipline, etc. :)
