Feeling Loved!!

Oh what a day it has been! I had a thing at the church this morning for a couple of hours, then I had to help give a baby shower for a dear friend!! I hate it when I am away on Saturdays. Saturday is our Family Day! We usually start it off by going to Krispy Kreme, then we just play and relax all day!!! Today was a little more busy!
I came home from the church for just a little bit, then I had to leave to go to the baby shower. I was kissing all of my boys goodbye, then when I got to Jaxson he wrapped his arms and legs completely around my leg and said, "No don't leave!! I love you! Don't go! I am going to miss you!!" And then he went into a full out scream fest!! I hate leaving them when they are screaming, but I had to go. After I got home from the shower, Jaaf was at the OU game, so I took the boys to go and get dinner. Jaxson decided to recap when I had to leave. He was telling me the whole story. Then he said, "But mom, I misteded you so much!" I thought it was so very precious!
My sweet Jaxson was reading bed time stories with his daddy the other night. I could hear him talking to Jaaf and saying that he wanted mommy to come in too. I just kept on listening. Then Jaaf asked, why do you want mom so badly?? Jax said, "Because I love her!" I rushed in there and soaked up every bit of his love!!
There is no greater feeling then when my boys hug me, kiss me, and tell me they love me for no reason at all! I can only imagine what our Heavenly Father feels when we humbly fall on our faces before Him and thank Him for His goodness in our lives, and to just tell Him WE LOVE HIM! How I could not make it one second in this life without my Father guiding me. I just got done with a Bible Study, the main just of it was how God has LONGED to dwell among us from the very beginning of life starting with Adam and Eve. Then sin came into play, and God could not dwell among that. Eventually God used Moses to lead the people out of Egypt and then into the promised land, but during that God gave Moses a DEVINE blueprint of a tabernacle where God wanted to dwell among His people. (how awesome that tabernacle must of been!) Years went on and the next Tabernacle became a Temple, (Solomon). Then God gave us a walking, breathing, perfect, and holy temple, Jesus Christ. Through Jesus God met and dwelt among His people. When Jesus died and rose again, He became our ultimate sacrifice, we now have access to God through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. And now WE are the tabernacle's. God dwells in us. How awesome it is that my Father in heaven would do ANYTHING just to dwell with me! When I see how much my boys love me and all they want is to dwell with me, how much more my Father in Heaven wants to dwell with me! Oh, how blessed I am, and how the Father has lavishly poured down His goodness on me, I am undeserving.

Wonderful Jen! When I pack a box of goodies for the boys, and think of their little faces when they open their box with excitement, I am reminded how our Lord must smile down on us when He is sending a blessing our way. God is so good, we are all so blessed! Love you all so much! Mom (Grandi)
