How deep the Love

I am an emotional creature and can be moved to tears quite easily. I will cry because I'm happy just as often as I'll cry because I'm sad. My husband, Jeff, can attest to that. Don't get me wrong. I don't cry at Hallmark commercials or anything (not that there's anything wrong with that), but a sad movie or happy occasion will often get the better of me. There have been many times when I've been moved to tears by the love I feel for my husband. He'll say, "What's the matter? Are you okay?" and I'll sniffle back, "Yes, I just love you so much." Or sometimes when I'm watching Benjamin play or I'm rocking him before bed or listening to him babble as he walks around the house I get caught up in the joy that he brings to our lives. The love I have for Jeff and Benjamin runs deep, I cannot see an end to it.

This morning as I sang to Ben before his nap I was looking at his sweet face and stroking his soft, fine hair and thinking how blessed I am to have such an amazing husband and our precious son. My eyes welled up with tears and I was overwhelmed with the amount of love I feel for them both. In these moments I gain an understanding of how much my Father must love me. My God, the Creator of the universe and all of it's wonders, loves me even more than I could ever possibly love my husband and child in my limited human capacity. God's love for me, and all of His children, is beyond compare. When I give pause to it, His love baffles me. I cannot fathom it. It is immeasurable. So I will just bask in it.
