Love in the Heart

We had the most wonderful conversation in the car today after a long day (6 hours) of errands.

I was telling the kids how much I appreciated their good behavior and how proud I was of them.

Caleb then said he was happy that he was learning to obey the rules and not getting in trouble so much.

To which I replied that it made my heart so happy that he felt that way and that I was so very glad he is my son and that I loved him so very much.

He then made the funniest face, remember I am driving so I am seeing him in the rear view mirror. So I ask him if he believes I love him? And he replies, "Yeah, most of the time."

So with Mommy heart in my throat I said, "Do you believe it now more than you did last year or when you came home?"

And without a hesitation he said, "Yes! I believe it more everyday!"

Then with victory in my heart I told him how glad I was to hear that and how I was the most blessed Mom to have him as my son!

So I am feeling as though the bonding that was not happening with my son in the first year and half, is finally occurring. It has been hard for both of us, but so very worth all the effort.

Thank you Lord, for bringing our hearts together!
