I remember the day so well. It was a Tuesday, you had been inching your way closer to the sunshine for the past 24 hours, I could feel you making your way down. Early that morning, while resting my water break but I was clueless, did not know what was going on. I mentioned it to your daddy but he did not know. I called "my mommy" and asked her and she explained what was happening.
It did not take long for things to escalate and we knew we had to get to the hospital but even still we made a detour and stopped to get some very good friends.
We rushed to the hospital and found that I would have to be by myself because of the construction in the private ward. This is sad but it was what it was. A few hours later, I was being taken into the operating room and it was a few minutes before you entered this world. A gift so precious that I can to this day, say that I am so unworthy that God would allow me the privilege to be your mother.
Your dad met you and it was love at first sight!
They took me my room and your grandfather's were the first to visit you that day! They had you in the nursery and the bassinet beside me was empty.
When my father came, we were talking waiting for you to come not knowing when they would bring you. I heard a cry from down the hall and I said to my dad, "that's my baby"; he looked at me and said that could be any baby, you don't even know her yet.
But sure enough two minutes had not passed and the nurse came in with you crying. I looked at him and i said, I told you so!
I love you! But......
My love can be fickle
My love does not last forever
There are times when my arms cannot hold you, although I want to
My love is partial and so sometimes flawed
My love cannot touch your soul
My love cannot transform your mind
I love you! But....
My love pales!
In comparison to the one who is Love!
His love is not fickle
His love does last forever
his arms can hold you anywhere you are!
His love has no partiality and so is not flawed
His love does touch the soul
His love can transform your mind
His love does not pale to anything or anyone!
20 years later and it seems as if it is day one. This mother's day weekend I want to continue to point you to the ONE whose love is Real, Unfailing. you can find no greater love than Jesus!. My daughter, this is the greatest gift I know to give because as flawed as I am, He renewed me, He cleanse me. I would not be alive today, were it not for Him. Jesus!
He is the best this world has to offer. My daughter, He tells us to love another as we love ourselves. And, so I choose the best to give to you! I love you! But.......Jesus loves You Better!
Mommy
