OK, so I know I have TONS of overdue pending blog posts, including more contributions to the Amazing Grace for Moms series, MORE Amazing Grace Giveaways AND even more great recommendations and tips for the whole family, among others! GOSH!
Not to mention stuff I need to do for my actual job at the country’s top inspirational publishing company of all time {do I sound biased to you?! LOL!} and other writing projects! *whew*)…
BUT… I just HAVE to share what happened earlier (errr… last night!). 🙂 So, please humor me… and I promise I’ll get to all those things in a while! 😉
So anyway, we came home last night from our regular household meeting (what we call our small group prayer meetings in Couples for Christ) to find little Therese still awake (it was already almost midnight!).
Apparently, my plan to put her to sleep early so their Ate (aka our helper/nanny) would only have to wait for Tim to fall asleep backfired — she woke up while we were still at the prayer meeting and wouldn’t fall asleep again, even after her Kuya had fallen asleep! Hehe! 🙂
So we ended up playing a bit, laughing and tickling each other and reading a few books before she finally nursed to sleep. 🙂 *sighs* O how I LOVE you, our little flower! 🙂 And your brother, too! 🙂
One of the books we read was “.” I got it for only P140 at Booksale Robinsons Metro East — a good buy in my opinion, as it still had the accompanying music CD! 🙂
I first heard the song, “I Can Only Imagine,” when we were still based in Timor Leste. I remember how struck I was by its beautiful lyrics.
Anyway, when I turned to the first page, Rysse says, “I want ‘up’ kay Jesus!” (I want to be carried by Jesus!)
My heart melted at that exact moment. And all I could say was, “Me too, baby. Me too!”
*sighs* Times like these, I forget how imperfect I am as a wife, mother, PERSON (!) and can only thank God for His awesome grace! 😉
P.S. In case you’re wondering what the song sounds like, here’s a nice video from YouTube:
Oh, and if you happen to come across the book, I highly recommend you buy it for your kids (and for yourselves, too!) Here are what the other pages look like (sorry if the other photos are blurry, am not much of a photographer! *winks*:
