Still of the Day

23 months
tomorrow she turns 1 month shy of 2 years.
i can’t believe it. i really can’t. she understands so much for a 2 year old, or maybe i’m just very inexperienced. i’m such a proud mother…because i love having her as my daughter. i am sincerely a happy woman…if you can strip my life down, i’m happy because of love- love from my family, love from my husband, and love from my daughter.
today, as we were playing on the bed, she stretched out her hands to hold my head so she could kiss my forehead. then she held out her hands again to hold my cheeks so she could kiss my lips. then once more, she held out her hands so she could hug me. man, that warms my heart…she’s so loving.
she’s saying more words now, even two word sentences- or phrases…i can’t wait til she can talk, so i can hear her voice more, and we can have conversations.
these days, aside from watching her favorite shows like Charlie and Lola and Veggietales, we read books or look at books with pictures so she learns new words. i’m also trying to get her to learn all her shapes, and her 123’s and ABC’s…so far, she’s got 2,3, A, triangle, and circle down…hahaha. she also knows all her animal sounds- even the geico and elephant.
she’s also not very fearful of things- except probably the alligator.
what else can mention?
oh! and a new thing, she sings so much now- with all her shows, with the tv, and even when you sing her favorite songs. she doesn’t sing the words, but she definitely has the timing exact. it really shows that she has great memory…even with knowing what objects are. if you introduce a new word to her, she’ll remember it. but yep. my girl’s a singer and dancer.
next month, it’s her birthday and i’ll again say goodbye to another phase of her life- she is officially a toddler…time always gets me sad…i think after i got married, i saw exactly all the things i can never live without…and my daughter is one of them.
i understand now why parents cling so hard to their children…it is something children cannot yet understand.
It is a faithful saying…
by Charles Spurgeon
Text: 2 Timothy 2:11
Paul has four of these “faithful sayings.” The first occurs in 1 Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” The next is in 1 Timothy 4:6, “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.” The third is in 2 Timothy 2:12, “It is a faithful saying?f we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him”; and the fourth is in Titus 3:3, “This is a faithful saying, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” We may trace a connection between these faithful sayings. The first one lays the foundation of our eternal salvation in the free grace of God, as shown to us in the mission of the great Redeemer. The next affirms the double blessedness which we obtain through this salvation?he blessings of the upper and nether springs?f time and of eternity. The third shows one of the duties to which the chosen people are called; we are ordained to suffer for Christ with the promise that “if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.” The last sets forth the active form of Christian service, bidding us diligently to maintain good works. Thus we have the root of salvation in free grace; next, the privileges of that salvation in the life which now is, and in that which is to come; and we have also the two great branches of suffering with Christ and serving with Christ, loaded with the fruits of the Spirit. Treasure up these faithful sayings. Let them be the guides of our life, our comfort, and our instruction. The apostle of the Gentiles proved them to be faithful, they are faithful still, not one word shall fall to the ground; they are worthy of all acceptance, let us accept them now, and prove their faithfulness. Let these four faithful sayings be written on the four corners of My house.
