.a break from pics.

here's the lesson i've learned since becoming a parent...
i don't think i truly understand the love that a parent has for a child until i become parent myself. i love brody even when he doesn't love me and i correct him because i know best! i can see things he can't and i understand things better than he does. i can help him when he gets frustrated with his Lego's and he can't get them together because one is turned the wrong why. i know the oven is HOT and that doggie food just doesn't taste that good. he can crawl up the stairs alone but i always make sure to be right behind him because sometimes he gets distracted and looses his balance and tumbles. it's easy for me to pick him back up because i'm bigger than him. i can see him get shaky and a little to confident BUT i like to see him succeed. i love to see him accomplish something and clap! it's neat to see him learn new things. i love it when i can help him but i also love to see him learn a new lesson and do something alone. when he cries i love scooping him up and comforting him! i love being brody's mom.
GOD loves me the same way! God loves me even when I don't love him. he corrects me because he knows best! God can see things i can't and he knows better than me. he helps me when i get frustrated with life and puts pieces together when i don't understand how they will fit. he lets me walk along my trail of life but helps me up the hills when it's hard and picks me up when i loose balance and tumble! it's easy for him to pick me back up because he's bigger than me. he sees when i get too confident... he loves to see me accomplish something and get excited about leaning new things. when i cry he loves to scoop me up and comfort me. God LOVES being my dad.
before brody i don't think i truly understood how much God loves being my heavenly father. as a parent i can look past a LOT of brody's flaws..well because he's my son. ... nearly perfect i'd say. and you know what- God feels the same way about me! ha!
