A time for Love Lessons...

We work on seeing the love-lessons.

Us together. This little family intricately weaved.

We pray for the eyes to see and for the heart to understand.

After arguments between sisters who have constantly been at-throat and clashing over compromise.

We work on seeing the lesson. We work on love.

After this exhausted Mama snaps sharp in the chaos of mess or mayhem.

We work on seeing the lesson. We work on love.

After a weighed-down day at the office has Daddy tired, and daughters spill over in wants and wishes.

We work on seeing the lesson. We work on love.

After the love between Spouses seems dull in the shuffle of extra-curiculars and the scheduling of commitments.

We work on seeing the lesson. We work on love.

After each one of us has a separate agenda and our family looses it's vision.

We work on seeing the lesson. We work on love.

Because being a parent involves intention, being a family involves sacrifice, and being present involves heart & desire.... all wrapped up in a love still learning.

And when we work on seeing the lesson, we are actually being wooed into the transformational presence of God. To see through His eyes, to lean on His understanding, and to love as He loves.

Living intertwined within a household of different personalities gives us opportunities to love as the scriptures advise... to love with patience, to love with kindness, to love without boasting, and to love without wanting our own way. And God gives grace in each circumstance, in the day-to-day, to see the lessons and turn back to love. For love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
