Our Pastors encourage us mothers to take time to sit and hold our babies,
and gaze into their faces. Take the time to just look at them.
and gaze into their faces. Take the time to just look at them.
There is nothing more important we should be doing.
Thank you, Pastors.
Thank you, Pastors.
"We smile at our babies and talk to them.
Mommy says this is the way our babies know
they are the most wonderful babies in the world."

One of my most favorite things....oh, how I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteDo 13, 9 and 7 year olds still count as babies??
They need to know they are the most wonderful 13, 9 and 7 year olds in the world.
What a gift Eloise Wilkins is for us; her books express so beautifully the joy of motherhood, and family life. Although she couldn't have imagined our current culture, and the state that motherhood and family life would be in today, her art-- Baby Dear, We help Mommy,(and Daddy), Where did the Baby Go? and all of her books-- bring a sense of normalcy and goodness and virtue to this crazy, mixed-up time. Oh, and What a Gift to have Pastors who remind us of things like, "Look at your baby."
ReplyDeleteJenny: Hello again, and yes, they do, don't they? I guess we all get busy, and need the reminder, no matter what age our children are. Thank you--and bless you today.
My very favorite thing to do. I still hold my children and just look at them. When they let me anyways!!!!
