There are times as a mom where you are just beyond grateful to see times where I am sure the veil of heaven is so thin and Heavenly Father truly is not that far away. There was this one night this week that I had laid down with the girls to cuddle them to sleep. I was nursing Annalina who was just about asleep where I could quietly sneak away when Adaya sits bolt right up and says PEE!!!!! I grimaced as I looked down at baby and looked back at Adaya. It's in those moments where the thoughts in your head are running a mile a minute. Should I just tell her to go in her pull up (even though we are mostly potty training through the day), do I take her and then try to put the now screaming and crying baby back to sleep! What do I do... and it was then that I had a sweet four year old who looked at me and said, "mommy, I can take her! Let's go Dayday!" And they both slipped off the bed and to the bathroom. And lo and behold, Adaya went pee on the potty and Jessa had taken her!
But what happens next melted my heart even more as I saw the girls sitting in the hallway by the nightlight. My first reaction was a sigh and I was about to scold them to stop playing... when I just felt compelled to stop and be quiet. To watch. Just watch to be an observer. And it was then that I saw a certain big sister kneel down and have the little sister sit in front of her. She then proceeded to help her put back on her pull up and pants. Ever so patiently and lovingly. My heart for that one moment felt immense gratitude and peace that I was blessed to witness something so beautiful in terms of love and service.
My Jessa girl had given me a great gift that I will truly che®ish in my heart forever.
