Top : Parents Corner : Let Me Tell You : Special Moments Of Love Special Moments Of Love~ Marilyn HaugenThe night before I was scheduled to leave for Mayo Clinic, my eight year old peeked in the bedroom door. "I can't sleep, Mom", she said. I had just finished packing six different suitcases, was trying hard to cast my worries on the Lord, and longed for my own pillow; but I decided to go lay down with my oldest. "I'm not worried about you, Mom. I just want to go along.” she said, although her head hurt and she had a tummy ache. We read devotions, I rubbed a soft back, and gave a listening ear. She needed to have mom close and she talked of typical eight-year old things. This was quality time and it could never be planned! Blessings come in little eight-year old packages. All day long I am wanted for something: getting a drink, a band-aid, settling a fight, tying a shoe, cleaning up messes; but it is moments like these that I'm needed the way God really intended. In a soft voice she whispers, "You can go now, Mom. I love you." I'm no longer longing for my own pillow and the Lord has taken all my worries and replaced them with this special moment of love.
