We pulled it off and it was the biggest surprise of her life ! This child had no clue ! Whew, there were some moments this person almost gave too many clues away! I thank God for my family! My children mean so much to me! My husband is so wonderful to me and loves our family with such a sacrifical love, I could never thank God enough for placing he and I together and blessing us with our kids. They are healthy, happy and saved by the grace of God. My family is sealed in heaven. I have been blessed with the most wonderful family, of course they are a little crazy, whose isn't ? and also I have the bestest friends in the whole world! God is Good, Life is Good, and its all because of Him!
I have to say this has been the best Mother's Day yet! That's how the goodness of God gets you, just when you think you've had the best, in God there's always something more and better than you ever thought! That's got to be the way we are going to feel about heaven someday when we get there, we'll realize God was really saving the best for us and has everything prepared just right, even as He knows us and loves us, how much more wonderful it will be just to be with Jesus! With this 16 thing and license thingee I know there has to be some letting go involved and I assure you I'm not good with that but I am trying to work on trusting God that He's in control and always has been and He'll watch over her as He always has. Lord help me to let go and trust you ! And also to know how much and when and the wisdom to listen to the Spirit's guiding hand ! I heard Ruth Bell Graham on a video interview on FB page last night....when asked what she'd do differently knowing what she knows now about parenting at the time of the interview, she said this....I'd love my children more unconditionally....I'd treat my children like God treats me, when dealing with my wrongs and sins,,,,she said God can rebuke you and tell you off about something and its still done in the right way,,,,,if Billy does or my best friend does, I don't feel the same, God's different when it comes to that and in the lives of my children I wish I had approached them more like God does me, more mercy and less judgement ! She said all of God's promises are on your side, just wait on Him to work and to answer, trust Him more!
Such profound words, this momma drank them all in knowing I'd need this over and over,,,,,God is faithful to take us back through those lessons needed the most ! My prayer when my children were born was to always be close to them and have a great relationship with them. God has answered those prayers and as they grow older, I pray that I can always be a spiritual beacon that will shine and point them toward the Lord!
