Bring the rain

As I look at the kids...I see how quickly they've grown and I often find myself thinking, "What is it I really want them to learn?" If they remember one thing I taught them, what would it be? Who is it I want them to become and how are Tim and I going to get them there?"

Oh the things that run through a mother's mind...

Yesterday, as I watched the boys frolic in the rain, I was overwhelmed with thankfulness and honor that they're mine. They're so wonderfully sweet and kind-hearted little boys. Instead of the regular, "Rain, rain go away" song that I usually sing to them when it's raining, this time, another one was playing in my head. Mercy Me's Bring the Rain.

Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free

Bring me anything that brings You glory

And I know there'll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that's what it takes to praise You

Jesus, bring the rain

I'm very aware that I have no control over life and the things our children will face, but I have the most wonderful gift~ the opportunity to pour Jesus into their hearts, so that He will be their constant.
