Okay, before we get too excited this is not a blog about romance.
Sorry, I love love too, but that’s not allowed yet.
I’m talking about falling in love with the children that we get to spend the day with.
So we are given rules, dont kiss or hold the children at the ministry too long, dont tell them you love them, because truth is I’ll leave so I get it, we want to guard their hearts and ours.
I broke all the rules, and although I never said it out loud I thought it 1000 times. I love love love those children, I love it when the nannies puts them in my arms and i get to sing to them or rock with them.
So many of them have a disability so showing affection varies between each child.
I’ve been learning that I the way I want to love people is not often how they need to be loved. We get so caught up in selfishly doing what we think we’d want someone to do for us that we neglect how it makes them feel.
I think the most important thing you can do is have conversations with the people aroud you and ask the thougher questions.
“How can I love you best”, i know it sounds taboo but literally makes the world of difference in your friendship.
What I love about Jesus is that he knew how to love everyone perfectly. He knew what the needed and when. We cant love perfectly but the first step towards that is seeking to understand and really see the people around you deeply.
Advice please! how am I supposed to leave the little ones I love so deeply.
The race is full of goodbyes, they are hard and no they dont get easier.
You do learn that your heart has the ability to continuously expand each time you give a chunk away.
How do you deal with goodbyes?
