Driving home from church yesterday, Sean and I were talking about being a child of God and the responsibility it brings....and I mentioned to him how on earth, we love to see good reflected in our children.
If someone tells me that Paul is adorable, they are instantly miles closer to my heart, because they know the truth, and because I'm easily flattered enough to think it is because he gets his blue eyes from me.
However, I am hopeful for the day that someone tells me that Paul is holy, and seeks God with all of his heart. It would all be God's grace, of course, and I did nothing but provide him room in my womb for 9 months...but it says something... as parents, we believe that our children reflect us. Here we are again, knowing that parenthood gives us a small glimpse into God's beautiful heart, and knowing that God wants us to be holy so that we can reflect HIM to the world that so desperately needs Him. So that we can be HIS children that shine and reflect Him...
What privilege, what responsibility.
