Jesus Made Me Mommy

Today as we were getting ready for quiet time, I sat down to rock with Sarah Grace for a bit. We don't usually get to do that, but I had to ensure that Abby was sleeping before I put Sarah Grace in the same room with her. As we started to rock, Sarah Grace looked up at me and said, "Why did Jesus make you Mommy?" I repeated her question and before I could answer, she said, "Jesus died. We sinned. " What a blessing that, at 2 1/2, she is beginning to develop an understanding of such things. Sometimes there are such sweet moments with these girls and I'm so thankful for each of them. I look at them and wonder what our house is going to be like in 5, 10, 15, 20+ years. How many little feet will be under our table? And what little things will they laugh about? Will they still love to sing hymns? Will they still hug one another? Will they be as close then as they are now? Oh how I hope the answer is yes! What a blessing it is and how grateful I am that Jesus made me Mommy!
