Day one for the newlyweds…and 30 years for us. You’re still the one, Babe. ❤️

She's loved dancing for as long as I can remember.

She's loved dancing for as long as I can remember. Ever since she was a young girl. 💃🏼

And yet, what do you say to a child who longs to dance…but whose legs won't hold her up?

I know. It's okay to wonder. I've asked myself that same question more than you might guess.

Why Lord? Why…

And found myself asking again as I took her in for all that medical testing last week. You'd think by now I'd be "used to it," but somehow, seeing her frail frame on those CT scans just about did me in.

After we returned home and I carefully tucked her in bed, I went and found Matt. Closed the door, leaned on his chest, and wept.

He held me close, speaking softly in my ear what he's whispered in hers so many times, "Just think: someday she'll have a new body and how wonderfully she'll dance then!"

My aching mama's heart really needed that reminder. ❤️

Now, friend, maybe your heart needs that reminder too. That we have a Hope that goes far beyond the brokenness we experience here on earth.

And that someday there will be a beautiful place for dancing. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Rev. 21:5a)

These two - Vienna’s sister and her bestie - put together an incredibly beautiful bridal shower while we were back in Virginia. Such a lovely, thoughtful celebration of our much-loved bride. 💗

Here’s but a glimpse of what it looked like (at an old Virginia farmhouse built in 1767!! 😮)

Thank you Cambria and Erin for making it such a magical, memorable evening! 🤗

As parents, it’s easy to believe that what we ha

As parents, it’s easy to believe that what we have to say to our children is more important than what we have to listen to.

And I can understand why. After all, we really should have wisdom and instruction to offer our children.

But sometimes…sometimes…the best thing we can do is sit quietly, with no other agenda than wanting to hear what is on their hearts and minds.

A time to keep silence, as it says in Ecclesiastes. 🤫

This can require incredible patience as you wait for your child to eventually get around to saying what is actually the heart of the matter. It might also take great self-control as you bite back the “answer” to the question that hasn’t even been formulated yet. Or, possibly hardest of all, you must resist the impulse to correct when you already know they’re in the wrong.

Now maybe you’re choking a bit on that last one. Because, of course, as the mother, you’re supposed to rebuke and admonish. And you’re right about that.

But I’d caution you not to rush in so your child feels run over by your words.

Once they feel heard and understood, you’re in a much better place for them to embrace what you have to say. Not only that, but you’re building a close and trusting relationship so that as they get older, they can confidently come to you with most anything on their mind.

Because by then, they know you will listen.

And listening looks a lot like love when you’re a child. ❤️
