Oh this smile of this little boy & Oh this smile of this little girl~
Comes from the deepest part of their heart
as they know that they are
LOVED
beyond a shadow of a doubt..
Life is about them ~
as it has to be
because I don't know many
2year olds & 4 month olds
who can care for themselves.
Their mommy and daddy
see to it that all of their needs are met
& shower them with a
LOVE
that keeps giving
from the wee early mornings into the
wee late evening hours~
because
that is what
LOVE DOES.
So these little babies
TRUST
their parents (& of course their grandparents!)
without even knowing that are
as they
~don't worry
~don't hold grudges
but most of all
wonder
"AM I LOVED?".
To be a child~
to just enjoy every moment
doing what you do best
& that is just being
yourself
because that is the only thing
you know to be.
And you can~
because
their is a
LOVE
covering over you
every minute
that will never let you out of it's sight
because that is what
LOVE DOES.
So maybe what we all need to do is to just
throw on our snowsuits & sit in the snow
& smile with our whole hearts~
just being our best self~
which is ourself
because who else can we be
when we know
beyond a shadow of a doubt
that no matter how old we are
we are so deeply
LOVED
because
we are
HIS CHILD~
"See what great love the FATHER has lavished on us, that we should be called
CHILDREN OF GOD!" (I John 3:1).
It isn't rocket science~
even though at times it feels like it
when we are in the midst of living as adults
and dealing with life happenings that we wish we didn't have to deal with~
But to take a moment to
RECEIVE
the
LOVE of our FATHER
that HE so LAVISHES on us~
I mean really receive it & believe it
from our heads to our hearts
then just maybe
we will see each other
wearing snowsuits
just sitting in the snow
with a
smile
that looks up
and says
THANK YOU GOD
for just
creating lil 'ole me
for just
watching over lil 'ole me
for just
LAVISHING YOUR LOVE
over lil 'ole me
just because that is what
LOVE DOES
and we would no longer wonder
AM I LOVED?
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them" (I John 4:16)
