Blabbable Secrets

Matthew 18:21-22

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Ephesians 4:26-27

“In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foot-hold.

I know there has been so much drama lately. So much is going on. My baby turned into a toddler. Then she turned into a little girl. Then my little girl turned into a tween. From a tween she became a teenager and now she is about to graduate from high school and go on to college. She is making decisions with me and it’s scary. I just want what is best for her. I love her. I care for her. I don’t want anybody to hurt her. Most of all…I don’t want her to hurt herself. She has no idea how beautiful she is or how smart she is or how much good she can do with the heart that she has. Sure…she’s made some horrible decisions this year and we have had some horrible fights. But no matter what… I LOVE HER.

She came home tonight with her dad and apologized to me. She didn’t just tell me that she was sorry for how she acted today…she threw her arms around me and told me she was sorry. I accepted her apology and told her too how much I loved her. Of course I love her more…she will never know just how much but that’s ok. At least we don’t have to be like those other Mothers and Daughters….right?
