Today I spent a little time with my babies.
It had rained heavily last night so they were not to be seen. But in the evening when it was growing dark they were running about a car parked on the side. I got them back into their ditch and sat by them letting them gnaw my fingers. My little babies. Do they know I waited a month to see them? For a month I didn't know how many there were, and what colors.
How do they look? Just like me, of course. I can see it in their faces. Made for me. Those faces are made for me. I would recognize them anywhere in the universe. My own little ones. So I let them grow accustomed to my fingers.
Little do they know what a loving and lovely mother they have. And what a doting, devoted servant they have. Thank You, Lord, for this wonderful gift. I will love them and cherish them as long as they are here.
You always send me the best. How will I ever be able to thank you enough or repay you.
