Running

Every day they run.



Around the house.

Around the yard.


Around my mind.



I love them both so much. They are my boys.
Sometimes they get along, sometimes they don't.
But for the most part they do.



My Love for them comes naturally.
Their love for me doesn't.
Their love for eachother doesn't
I have to teach them how to love


That is a scary job


How do you teach someone how to love, when I myself am so imperfect at it?


I often remind myself of my boys.
Everyday I run too.
From my Daddy
Yet He loves me so naturally
and It doesn't come like that for me
I have to learn from Him how to love.


So as I learn to love, I then learn how to teach my boys how to love Him, to love me, to love eachother.


Thanks Dad is heaven for showing me how.


I love You.

  1. oh i love this post. i have three little boys, and the love i have for them is nothing like my Abba has for me. i wish i could love him back the way he loves me, you know?! but then i get glimpses of it, when i feed his little sheep, my babies.
