Tonight is one of those nights when you hold babies a little tighter...
Give extra kisses...
Say "I love you" and really mean it...
Hug a little longer...
Get a sleeping baby out of the crib and rock her just because you can...
And pray that her little heart keeps beating long after mine stops...
Because, it's nights like these when you realize it won't be like this forever. There will be valleys we must walk through. There will be low times and times of despair. There will be times when the mountain before us seems too tall.
But even during those times, joy will return. Peace and understanding will wash over us again. We will feel His presence and know we are called to suffer so that we may feel His loving arms around us.
"We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you" (Psalms 33:20-22).
