The Desires of My Heart

I often think of the verse

Psalm 37:4

"Delight yourself in the Lord

and He will give you the desires of your heart."

I am human, and I'm tempted to think of

what I don't have, but the Lord is faithful

and He reminds me of what I do have.

I love the stories of our children. I love how God

made them, protected them, and brought

each of them into our hearts and our family.

I love how God took something that could have been so

tragic and turned it into something so beautiful, in

the way that only He can.

My Lord is such a loving and merciful God.

As I watch my children play, as I listen

to them talk, as I hear their

laughter and see their smiles,

as I accept their hugs and kisses, I know one thing is true,

my children are the desires of my heart.

My Lord brought me each of them, and He has given

me the privilege of being their mother.
