Did I ever tell you that I like to wash dishes? Always have. It is a mindless task that, at times, allows one to think deeply. It helps if you have a window to gaze out of, too. The other day I was washing a sink full of dishes [note: our dishwasher is still broken] and reflected on motherhood.
I heard recently of a precious little one that has been abandoned by his mother and I thought: who could do that and what could possibly cause a woman to abandon her child? Does this mother wonder where her little one is? Is he safe? Is he warm? Is he being cared for? Is he being shown love?
I reflected back to when my sons were little. I tried to imagine just walking away from them...forever...and I could not. It was too upsetting to even try to think about. The love that I have for my sons surpasses all boundaries. I would give up my own life to save theirs.
Doesn't this remind you of Someone? God's love for us surpasses all boundaries, so much so, that He sent His Son, who gave His life so that we could live.
Merry Christmas.
