Hi Everyone - sorry I've been gone for so long. I've had a lot of "fires" to put out. I'm going to try and post once a week and see how that goes.
The other day I asked my little princess if I love her. She said "yes". I asked how do you know I love you?
She said "Because you take care of me".
I thought that was so interesting. It wasn't because you buy me things or because you homeschool me or because you take me places or let me play with friends - it was because I take care of her.
I thought hmmmm.... I decided to take a mini- survey with my kids. I asked my seven year old - He said the same thing - because you take care of me. My fifteen year old said because you care for me and if someone says something about me you get really mad! My ten year old said because you discipline us and tell us right from wrong. AMAZING - wouldn't you say?? Really, when it comes down to it our kids just want us - they want to know they count, we care for them and we take the time to meet their needs.
Isn't that what God is asking us in Titus 2:4 "... that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children...."
I guess that's how I know God loves me, too!
