My child in my arms.

I have just finished putting Anne-Marie to bed.

God the Father holds us in His arms just as I held her. He comforts us, he holds us close to his heart so we can hear His heart beating with love for us. That love is expressed with every beat.

His Son, Jesus Christ is a gift for us. Through His death and resurrection we are no longer separated from the Father. That is what I whispered to her as she was slowly falling asleep. She belongs to the Father.

The Holy Spirit is present in us. Just before I put her to bed, I offered to her these words of encouragement and comfort: You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, you were made for Him, for God, and Him alone. He has given us His Holy Spirit to dwell within us to always guide us on the path to heaven.
Pax vobis,

J.E.
