A moment for eternity

I had a lovely moment today. My DD, age 6, is homeschooled and we had a few minutes to chat before leaving on an errand. When she was younger, between ages 2 and 4 or so, we often laid down together to rest in the afternoons on my bed. It was a quiet time for the entire household. Today we rested on my bed for a few moments, something we haven’t done in a long time. As she lay there she said fondly, “I remember lying here when I was three and staring at those pictures (on DH’s nightstand) while you were over there (next to her).” I was pleased she had a comforting memory from such a tender age to hold onto through the years. I stretched out next to her and as she chatted, I stroked her cheek and stared at her. I felt immense peace and satisfaction in my spirit. I felt the Lord was reassuring me that if something should happen to me from this point on, she would take with her into life an unforgettable sense of my love for her.
