Oh....I just had one of those precious moments. I don't even think I have words to describe it!
Jeremy had to do a side job tonight, so he worked late. I let Nicole stay up a bit later watching a video (the zoo....she's obsessed!). She was obviously very sleepy, so we put on her PJs, and she suggested I let her fall asleep in our bed. So....we made a big deal about how this is a SPECIAL occasion. I got her all tucked in and she asked me to lay down beside her. So...I did and we prayed and cuddled a bit. A few minutes later, I shifted positions, she thought I was getting up. She grabbed my arm and said, "No...mommy, no go...stay mommy". How on earth could I resist that! So I stayed. As she started to settle in and was almost asleep, I kissed her forehead and told her I love her. She doesn't really say "I love you" yet, but she has little motions she makes. Anyway, right after I told her I love her, she rolled in real close to me, threw her arm around my neck, pulled me in, smooshed our faces together and wouldn't let me go! We stayed there for almost 20 minutes before she was sound asleep and I finally got up.
Oh....I can't even describe the feeling of falling asleep with such a beautiful, precious little person! It's good for me to have moments like that, because my days so often are spent disciplining, correcting and training. I love those wonderful mommy-daughter moments of pure love. I will be flying high on that moment for a long long time!

Reminded me of the scripture that talks about For as much as we love our children,our heavenly father loves them even mor!! Hard to imagine such an amazing and complete Love isn't it !! Hold onto those moments.... they truly are a treasure.
