I ran across this today. I really needed to hear it today. First grade hasn't exactly started how I anticipated, and Lincoln misses his sister and is having a hard time. Needless to say it is a little stressful around our house. I have been praying for my little girl all day..I am excited to pick her up and see how today was.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of your together
Just for this morning, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by
Just for the afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you try to fix them
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the rub and not get angry
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and county the stars
Just for this evening, I will snuggle besides you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows
Just for this evening, when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever
And when I kiss you good night, I will hold you a little tighter, and a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask ask Him for nothing, except for one more day.......
Much love to my little blessings!!!
