Day 137: Remember the Joy

Each day with these children is filled with sweet moments that melt my heart. I want to write them down so I can look back one day and remember the joy.

Singing lullabies to M before bed. She has the biggest smile on her face. She sings with me. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Happy Birthday". As I hold her, listening to this 2-year-old sing, I think to myself: I cannot imagine a happier sound. It's true. The voice of a child, singing so innocently in the night, without a care in the world, looking up at you with pure love...this is heaven. Thank you, sweet girl, for showing me a little slice of heaven tonight.

"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."- Revelation 7:17
