“So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “Tend My lambs.” (John 21:15, NASB)

We have a small family as we had one daughter and one son. Each of them married and our family grew a bit.

As they had children, our family enlarged little by little. Each addition was a delight all their own.

They were unique, bringing their own personalities, quirks, and laughter with them. Some were quiet, some more talkative. Some were cooperative while others more stubborn in their ways.

Each one was loved and embraced for themselves. Not one was exactly as the other.

Even when they drove me crazy and completely tired me out, trying every last bit of my patience, they were still loved.

Little by little they each found a place not only into our family but into my heart and more importantly, into my prayers.

We shared our joys, tears, problems, challenges, and successes.

I loved them because they were mine, and a part of our family. For no other reason and I wouldn’t have traded them for anything.

I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE and let’s discuss caring for the people in our lives.
