You know that scene from "The Father of the Bride" where he misses seeing his daughter off~that is so sad! I had this fear that our girl would get caught up in the whirlwind and we would not get to kiss her goodbye.
As Hannah tossed her bouquet and she sailed into the sunset with Jacob my heart was already missing my girl~ my heart was breaking at the thought of her going so far from home.
As her Daddy and I were watching her leave~ we see her turn back and search the crowd until her eyes made contact with ours ~then she came back. She will never know the joy that filled our hearts at that very moment.
Psalm 113:9
He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
I remember the days when my children were underfoot~ needed my attention~ demanded my time. I remember thinking at times.
" I need to capture this in my memory because one day they will be gone from our home."
" I need to capture this in my memory because one day they will be gone from our home."
True joy is accepting God's best for us. Even when it is time to give our babies away. I am a blessed wife and a joyful mother. I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
