BABIES

Today I held babies. TWO OF THEM. Praise the Lord, I've been waiting for this for a whole week now. It's strange not being able to love on bunches of babies everyday. I mean, I even do that in America, so it has been extra strange to not have that here. I've been longingly waiting for a mother to walk by with a sweet little munchkin. Even praying that He would bring me just one to squeeze and kiss all over. I'm sure Jesus feels this way about us sometimes. I'm sure what I have felt is only a fraction of the heartache that He feels as He waits for us to come home into his arms. I've never really thought about it this way until today. I'm sure that every mother in the world understands this kind of love, but me, I've never felt/understood this before. What a beautiful glimpse I have caught of the Father's heart. I love it. I love this. I love that His love is constant. My Jesus is love Himself, and is as sure as the sun that daily chases away the night.
