Photo of the day...December 19

Do you ever...

Excuse the food crumbs on the cheeks, lips and teeth -- i just love his precious face! Such joy in those eyes!

What is she thinking? Behind those brown eyes, what is on her mind?

I must have a group of thinkers...he seems lost in thought too.

...stumble onto old photos...and wonder where the time went? What did I do with all those moments in between these photos and today? Did I love them? Did I show them? Did I teach them? Do they know? Do they know how much they are loved and cherished and treasured?

Do they know that even in the moments when they are fighting and unkind and unloving toward one another, I still love them and cherish them and treasure them?

Is that how God feels toward me? When I'm unlovely and unlovable...when I'm mean or snippy or crying or insecure, does He still love me the way I love them? 

Yes...yes, He does. He does love me. More than I can comprehend. More than I am capable of loving them. And He does love you. Especially when I am most unlovely, because that is when I need Him most...

Jeremiah 31:3
 ^"The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:“I have loved you with an everlasting love;    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."
