With July being marriage month on the blog, I thought we'd listen to some love songs today! I know they can be cheesy sometimes but no matter what mood I'm in if I start listening I'll find myself dreaming of reasons why I love Hubby! daydream today that you're singing these with your spouse. Daydream that your holding their hand. Go sing to them! Hold their hand! ;-)

Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.

Depths of Motherhood

Today went by in a blur and I breathe a heavy sigh of relief as I lay my weary body in bed. I close my eyes ready to succumb to the much needed sleep ahead of me.

Just then I hear my oldest cry out through the silence of the dark. It’s a nightmare cry. I pinch my eyes as I attempt to push back the contempt rising up within. Couldn’t we just get a couple of hours of sleep? Another cry comes out....this time from the baby as he has now also been woken. I quickly grab him up and head to my eldest’s room silently praying that this is over quickly....

Then the guilt comes. They need me. They need guidance and love as they learn the harshness of this world that I’m already all too aware of. Their pleas are signs of their desire to have me comfort them.
