Tuesday again

Taking care of a baby is not always easy. They cannot communicate in our language and its not always easy to pick up on their body language. They cry and flop about for most things. I have not found that they do a certain flop or such things for different agitations. It is sometimes hard to decifer what they want. As a mother you run down the check list - are they hungry, is their diaper full, are they tired, is the tag in their shirt driving them crazy? Well today as I was taking care of our youngest sometimes when she cried it would just pop into my head what was wrong and I would be right first try. As I thought about my other three and when they were babies this would happen with them as well. Now sometimes I still did struggle and went through the whole list and still could not get them to calm down but sometimes a thought would pop in and be right. I realized today that a most times this thought did not come from me. The Lord loves all His children and I am sure He sees momma getting frustrated and baby not happy. He knows what's wrong. I know He whispers to me how to calm that baby at that moment. I remember nights of walking the floor and and at my wits end and begging for help and the answer coming so clear and it being something so off the wall but that's what was wrong. Like the tag on a pair of PJs. The Lord gave us these special bundles. He did not send instructions with them because we can go to the maker at any time and find solutions. I love His hands on Fathering so to speak. He speaks for those who can't. I have seen the same apply for my brother who is special needs and sometimes can't quite communicate what he needs. The Lord knows and when I listen He tells me. I need ALL the help I can get and I am so grateful for parenting help.

God Loves You!
