I am reminded of what Jesus said about receiving little children in His name. What a precious, precious thing you did.

It's been many years since I struggled with a newborn, but you never really forget those days. I can imagine how grateful that young mother was for a few moments peace. I agree - we shouldn't get too busy to have time to respond to that gentle nudging of the Spirit. Our lives can get so hectic at times. It is good to know we are grounded in the One who can order our days with such wisdom.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34135579.post-36554864995034471192007-04-24T20:37:00.000-05:002007-04-24T20:37:00.000-05:00I bet that young mom was so blessed and encouraged...I bet that young mom was so blessed and encouraged.

I think that this is the kind of love that Jesus wants us to give without beating people over the heads with Jesus and His message. Busyness can definitely become a part of life for us if we are not careful!

When my girls were newborns, my husband and I always said we felt like we were on a deserted island and the world would drift by on a boat and look at us and wave, but wouldn't dare pull in for a visit.
