dear Emily,
Andrew's off for a Bible In Schools teaching seminar. Mama may wander over any minute and we'll have breakfast together. Zeke's been crying, tried cuddling and rocking him, tried dancing around. Running out of ideas and energy...put in my favorite cd and sat down. Zeke quieted and looking wide eyed in the direction of his Auntie Em's voice. I took over the job of shedding tears for awhile- happy tears, sad tears, loving tears...I hear the passion and the truth you used to so admire in Kieth Greens music, only with your beauty and gentle love. I see the earnest and genuine heart of the Emily I so love to sit and share hearts with. Now Zeke sleeps soundly and you sing on. I might be guilty of what I gave you a hard time for on our 16hr trip to Atlanta - repeats becoming a favorite button of mine. Thank you Emily! While I'm here enjoying a labor of your love, your off sharing the love and passion God's given you with children in Nicaragua. My heart hugs yours in prayer.
I love you!

I feel so absolutely astounded and honored to have a whole post. I just love you so much!! mmmmm....and I dreamed about little Zeke last night. AAAAaaaaahhhhh!!!!! I can't wait to meet him!!! I'm so glad Mama's with you right now. Your encouragment means sooooo much. Thank you dear sis!
ReplyDeleteEm, I too am soaking in your CD. We made an evening of it....very special.
ReplyDeleteOne's at a loss trying to think of a more loving and gentle time than the one you describe here, Eden Christine. (And I also have given Emzee-loo a hard time for playing the same song [on a CD] over and over :-)
