Littlest Ones To Him Belong!

I am awed and amazed at the love of our God. You would think by now I would get it but I don't. I learn so much from being a mother. The other night I was putting caleb to bed and we were going through our bed time routine. Change into PJ's, go potty, brush teeth, read book, sing Jesus Loves Me and Seek Ye First, say prayers, kiss goodnight then lights out. While we were singing Jesus Loves Me Caleb kept saying I love this part. He said it about 3 different times. I finally asked him what part he likes. He said,"Littlest ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong." I asked him why and he told me since he was the littlest he belongs to God. You see Caleb is the middle son, but he is the littlest one and he gets really upset about it. He is very insecure about his size. He doesn't like being smaller than all his friends. Parker is the same height but weighs more and is 15 months younger than Caleb. It is amazing to know that God would love my son enough to help him with his insecurities. He would let a little song mean so much to help a little boy. How awesome is our God? He even wants His littlest of children to feel secure. I guess all I can say is Jesus loves me this I know.

That's so sweet Becca. That made me have chills. God delights in the details of our lives... even the smallest of our children's insecurities!
