"Daddy..."


I am amazed at how a Mother's ear is so in tune to her children. This morning, I was dead asleep .. I had slept through an alarm ringing, my husband getting up out of bed, a noisy shower door, a shower running for thirty minutes.. and then it happened... Cara's whisper, "Daddy"... I woke straight up... she even whispered it so that I wouldn't awake..

How is that we can be dead asleep and out of it and our childrens cry or even whisper can wake us straight out of our sleep?

Even so then, our Father in Heaven waits to hear our voice.. and he is ever eager to answer us. He never slumbers or sleeps.

Psalm 121:3-5

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand

That is so true! I have been reminded that from our Bible study. I used to be a really heavy sleeper, but now I hear the kids way before Will! Such a good reminder.
