Thats my......

This morning while working out I was enjoying talking to God about my kids, I was thanking Him for the things that make my kids stand out to me. The things that capture my heart, the things that will help me remember who they are as individuals . Brennan loves playing games with me, right now it's dominoes, and I must admit I think I enjoy it more than he does. He loves jokes, making us laugh, being silly any time he can. Leighton is full of exaggeration when she tells a story, it's almost like it's happening again as she's speaking it. It's as if she gets lost in a world that is only in her head. I love listening to her, and asking the perfect question to see her mind trail off again. Hayden is my yellow, every time I see the color yellow I have to thank God, and sometimes I even joke with Him that He made it just for Hayden. Hayden loves to go on bear hunts with me right now, and oh how I enjoy these moments, letting him lead me to an imaginary world, and waiting for the next obstacle we'll have to face. He's the one that never forget to kiss or hug me. Cohen, when I think of him, it's the orange hat and sword in his shirt. He takes it every where, and people are always asking why the sword? It's some kind of security I always tell them, we let him take it anywhere he wants, letting him be who he is. Enjoying the kid in him. He's our stubborn one, set in his own ways, doing things his own way. Ashlyn has a smile that I can't wait to see. It brings so much joy to my heart.She is learning knew things everyday, and I love to watch her figure things out. Every time she says a new word, I want to jump up and down and clap I think it's the best sound ever. As I was thinking about all these things at the end of each little glimpse, I would say that's my Brennan, that's my Leighton....Hayden....Cohen....Ashlyn..

Then the voice that I knew as no other, spoke such simple words to my heart. That's my Keri, I heard and immediately started to sob, because I felt His love, as if He had just got done saying the things He loves about me. It was a rare and precious moment, that only lasted a moment, but I'll remember the rest of my life.

God love us so much, much more than we could even begin to fathom. When all we can see is how we never measure up, He gives us these rare glimpses of His love for us. He always knows the right words, at the right time to reveal how much He watches us, Loves us, and enjoys the time we give Him. Just as I treasure my kids for everything they are, God treasures you for everything you are.
