Three-Year-Old Love

Yesterday I told Mia that Aunt Olly was coming home soon (after her long summer absence). Mia squealed with delight, "I LOVE Aunt Olly!" She then proceeded to jump up and down with inexpressible three-year-old joy! It is this aspect of her uninhibited affections which blesses me so much everyday. Her random hugs, kisses and proclamations of love simply overflow out of her loving heart. When is it in life that we learn to tame our affections? Shouldn't we want to be like a three-year old in some ways, exuding enthusiasm for life from every pore? I do. I want to live in unbounded joy, unabashed devotion, and unutterable love. I pray that my God would fill me to the brim with affections for Him, especially as we embark on the journey of parenthood all over again. Pray that my exhaustion and responsibilities would not hinder my love for my family.

Keeping you posted....
