With baby in belly, I often wondered how I could love another child as much as I love my 3 year old.
When you have your second child, you don’t choose to love them equally. It’s just happens. Without a thought, your love flows abundantly.
I’ve often thought about those couples that choose to have 10 kids or so. How do they keep them all straight and spread their love in a fair way? I now know, after having my second child, that each and every child is being loved. I’m sure the children don’t always feel this way, but I am sure their parent’s hearts are in that place of overflowing love for each of their children.
And then, there’s God’s love for all of His children. It’s hard to fathom, but I am thankful to be in His family.
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17-18
Aawww… thanks… that just made my day. I get that a lot… how can you really love that many kids??
When I was pregnant with Jess, I told my mom that I was scared that I couldn’t love another baby like I loved Eryk. She told me this: “Love is like air… it expands to fill the space (or person) it’s needed for”. Very cool!
