The last few days Judah and i have really clashed and tonight it's been a burden on my heart as i'm away at work.
Do you ever have those days as a mother when you look back and feel like you've failed?
Failed to love them properly.
Failed to nurture their sweet budding personalities.
Failed to give them the time they so deserve.
Failed to share your heart with them.
I'm having one of those moments.
My sweet Judah Timothy is the most sensative boy you'll ever meet.
A little rub the wrong way and tears start flowing like a raging river.
A look to stern he'll go hide under his covers till he knows all is ok.
I've been doing some reasearch on how to partent "ultra-sensative" children.
It's an overwhelming task to say the least.
But i am learning. And really, what i need to learn, starts with me.
I need patience for the moms & dads that give him weird looks when he screams for something that doesn't need that kind of response.
I need an understanding heart when little boys don't find him the most fun to play with.
I need tender arms that open anytime and anyplace to offer a safe haven for him.
I need love.
Thankful God isn't done wtih me yet.
Thankful i had this reminder tonight, as i'm away at work, that Judah needs me. God placed him in my life so he could teach me and i could teach him.
I can't wait to go hug his neck tomorrow morning when i get home.
He won't remember my failures, he never does.
He'll only remember what i do from here.
