Time for Five Minute Friday. I am linking up with Lisa Jo Baker. Today our word is Comfort!
GO!
Comfort is what I hope my mama arms can be.
When Baby Girl has a bad day, that she can run into my open arms for a hug.
When Baby Girl has a bloody knee, that she can run to me for kisses.
When Baby Girl has received hurtful words, that she can run to me to hear God wisdom.
When Baby Girl gets an A for a hard project, that she will run to me to celebrate over ice cream.
When Baby Girl's heart is broken by that first boy, that she will run to me to sob and lament.
I pray daily that I can be that safe harbor for my girl. Life is hard. It is life. But I hope that I can always give her comfort and safety. That I will keep my biting words from passing these lips, that I can keep my patience high, and selfishness low.
And when, not if, I fail, that I can turn to the comfort of my Savior, my safe harbor. In Him, I can refresh, renew, and start over. Then I can turn back to Baby Girl and show her comfort gained from the Lord.
