last night nate burnt his finger. he was in so much pain. with some over tiredness mixed in he was having a hard time settling in
he asked me to snuggle with him until her fell asleep
so i did (yeah! i LOVE snuggles ha)
as i lay ed there with him he cried, whimpered and groaned in pain
i wiped his tears with my hand
then i stroked his face and hair
catching his tears as they fell
soon i noticed that my tears were falling into the pillow or my hair
as nate cried i said "did you know that jesus loves you so much, that when you cry he wipes your tears and saves them?"
nate was silent for a minute and asked why?
i said "because he loves you, he cares and i think he does it as a reminder. to remind us that we are never alone and every tear matters"
nate fell asleep shortly after
i went and shared this with chris and i said "i was crying because my heart hurt so bad that my baby was in so much pain, i cried for the future knowing that there will be many, many more tears to fall and i don;t think my heart can handle much more"
chris said "you know, i bet that is how jesus feels about each of us"
i think so too
i wonder how many bottles of tears jesus has for me? i know i filled at least 20 this past 2 yrs alone!
