The Love of a Parent

After having these two blessings for four months now I am beginning to understand how much a parent loves their children. Rhett and I were chatting in bed the night before Zoe's surgery and I shared with him how I am experiencing a new kind of love. With all our concerns with how young she is and being exposed to the medications, my heart just hurt worrying about her. I realized that I would literally do whatever I could to keep her and her sister safe. I then began to compare my love for the twins to my love for my husband. I always want Rhett to be the priority and our marriage to be the center of our home. Of course, that was convicting, so I began to pray that that would be true of our home and our family. Those thoughts quickly led to the love God the Father has for Christ, me, and the rest of his children. This is so evident in His act on the cross. This love is so humbling.
