Beauty in Caring for Another



I don't think I realized just how sweet it would be to watch your little ones love and care for each other. I am seeing it all over the place these days in our home. Sometimes, I just hold back tears of gratitude when I observe little ones learning about the joy of giving love and receiving it. When life slows down, it is so much more vivid and there are so many more opportunities for this growth to take place.
Grateful for....
*a brother who reads to his sister before bed
*a sister who looks out the window with her baby brother in wonder as they watch the wind blow in the trees
*a big brother and sister who approach baby brother with unabashed excitement after school
*the mornings when big brother and sister rock the baby with books in hand
*watching little hands hold little hands across the grass with tight grips

Grateful for the beauty that comes from slowed time and caring siblings.
