Matthew 12:50

You mother in the quiet places and in the moments when it is loud and it feels impossible to hear.  You mother in the choices, the choices to love beyond yourself, the sacrifice that comes with friendship, the nurturing of an arm across a shoulder, the carrying of beauty within you, the permission for God to care for you, to pour love into your heart so that the ripple of His love continues. Mothering happens in the combination of Him holding you in His hands and letting His fingers open a bit to let you pour out what He gives.
