I had the pleasure of babysitting a sweet little eight-week old baby boy this morning for about an hour and a half.
I had forgotten…
what it looks like to have a bottle in my frig
how tiny babies really are
how dependent they are on us for EVERYTHING
that doing two things at once isn’t as easy when fragile cargo is in your arms
that little babies love to be talked to even though they can only respond with tiny smiles
I wonder how different the church would be if we treated new Christians like infants…
dependent, needing fed, fragile, needing to be talked to
The Bible says that to enter the Kingdom we must become like “little children.”
I think God just adores babies.
Trusting, content, approachable, non-judgmental…
These are just some of my random thoughts after spending some quiet time holding a baby.
Thank you, Father, for speaking through one of your tiny creations who can not yet speak,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
‘just sending my love to you today.
