As you can see from the picture (or you may have to get out your magnifying glass), Maggie has two boo boos on her head. She took a little spill again today. But, as you can also see in the picture, she is not phased by it. I am. How do you get past that sinking feeling when your child falls and cries? Do you? Any moms out there have a time line for that? Does it get better?
Every time Maggie gets a little tiny bump or bruise, I am so upset for her! After the fall today, however, my mind and heart wandered past the feeling of pain for Maggie and into a place of thanksgiving. Not that I am glad that my sweet little girl is hurt ( I think you know how I feel about that). But, every time I look at Maggie, I thank our wonderful Lord for doing the unthinkable for me, for all of us. I would never allow Maggie to be hurt for anyone! Thank you, Lord, for allowing your precious son to suffer wounds and die for me!!! I know that's deep, but it's what I have been feeling and thinking today. It's amazing how having children helps you understand a small tiny bit more the love of Christ! Very heavy, but very wonderful! What a deep and unfathomable love our Lord has for us!
Praise God for the Sacrifice of His Son!
