One wailing at the door. “Mama! Mama! Mama!” Each word emphasized with the pound of a tiny fist.

Two squawking in a tug-of-war.

The dog barking at the child barking.

The hamster runs, getting nowhere.

 

Deep Breaths

Love is patient

Love is patient when a child cries.

Love is kind in the battle.

Love keeps no record of wrong.

Oh, how these children keep me humble, reminding me to apply scripture to my life.

Love is patient.

The Embodiment of Love is patient with me, kind to me, forgiving me over and over.

Love is a gift. His gift.
