So this cute little baby got me thinking today....
She is the most cuddly baby I have ever met :) When she goes into your arms, it's like she belongs there and she lies her little head on your chest as if she'd rather be no where else.
She is sweet natured and hardly ever cries...(At least in the short time that I have gotten to spend with her).
Now she is one that really melts my heart. She sat so nicely and quietly in my lap while I was doing some other things and she layed there...looked up every once in a while and played with the buttons on my shirt....then I got her to sit nicely and quietly beside me as I was looking into other things.
After a while...I heard a small silent whimper. Not really a cry, but a small little one of wanting some of my attention...so I turned on some disney music took her in my arms and layed down with her a little bit. Her cute little chubby hands held on tight to the outside of my arms and she lay her head on my chest.
I lay there thinking...this is a "Now" moment. These are the moments that so many of us might miss if we don't take the opportunity to see what is before us right in this instance. This little girl with her sweet nature, just captured my heart. I could feel her little heart beat next to mine and I thought to myself "How many times has she ever been held like this?" and I prayed for her...that Jesus would bless her and hold her and let her know just how special and loved she really is.
Tears slipped down my cheeks, because I just still cannot fathom that this little one was an orphan and didn't have her mommy to hold her like this every day of her life. That this little one was teaching me about what it means to be grateful for the love that I receive every day of my life and that God, even in the most unforseen circumstances is there. With us. Holding us lightly against His chest. Telling us that everything is going to be ok and that He loves us.
