musings on a Sunday evening...

i confess.

i am a lurker...i lurk on blogs i love, without ever commenting because they are friends of friends, or people i will likely never meet.

but i often find inspiration and encouragment through their words.

today, i read these lyrics on a blog:

"you are mine, you are loved,

you have always been thought of

when you hurt i feel it every time;

you are mine, you are loved,

and i'm never giving up

till i've dried all the tears you cry...

it was worth it all

you are worth it all.

no matter where you go i'll come and find you,

you are precious to me, my everything."

-FFH

these lyrics spoke to me as a mother,

and were posted by another mother as she was going through a difficult pregnancy.

the group FFH penned these lyrics from the perspective of God to us,

His children,

but i think it applies to parents' love for their children, too.

it brought to mind how lucky we are as mothers and fathers

to participate in the all-giving love exemplified by our loving God.

to know so intimately the kind of love God offers us is a gift.

let's be grateful today for this vocation,

and the small glimpse of heaven it gives us.
