Whisper
The day has drawn to a close with the sun setting and the moon hanging high in the sky watching our every move. We’ve danced under that very moon tonight, laughing, twirling with our heads thrown back, and enjoying the moment. As we made our way inside, you, yawning and stretching, and me following right behind, you crawl into bed awaiting me to come shortly thereafter to tuck you in. Snug as a bug in a rug. My little lady bug.
I stroke your hair and kiss your cheek softly as I whisper, “I love you,” in your ear. Those three small words … who knew they could have such feelings and emotions behind them … but a mother knows. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with you, I was in love … every fiber of my being was so in love with you, dear child of mine. And today, there are so many feelings and emotions behind those three little words. They are so tiny, and yet so powerful, just like you.
And I sit with you a moment longer, soaking in all of your beauty and wonder … this little child of mine.
Just as I whisper my words of love to you, God does also to each and every one of us. It’s the sweet whispers of the wind blowing through our hair, the sunlight caressing our skin, the birds singing their melody for all the world to hear … God’s hands are in all things, and He is whispering from His lips to our hearts His love for us all. Do you hear Him calling to you?
This post was inspired by the Five Minute Friday prompt word of: Whisper. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments (which we love, by the way), or link up your own blog post at Kate’s virtual house!

Yes!! Whispers of love in little girl (and boy ears). What could be better? What could be more fulfilling to give and receive. Motherhood really has helped me to understand that God DOES love me in a way nothing else got even close. Glad to drop in from FMF

Thank you so much for visiting, Morag! Yes, there is nothing like the love we give our children and receive from them as well. And to think, God feels just as strongly about all of us as we are His children!

Oh how I love those whisper moments with our children, and oh how grateful I am that God whispers the same way with us!
Thank you for these beautiful words.

Thank you, Ashley. Yes, they are beautiful moments with our little ones. Our angels from God above.
