It keeps us from bonding as families the way God designed the family to be. <br /><br />I noticed that my children give me little signs of how much they really appreciate and want to be loved. I am always thrown off guard by it, because somehow I think they have outgrown liking to be hugged. I am thrilled when I realize they still need me that way.<br /><br />I enjoyed my visit here today!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Saturday!<br /><br />And as always…thanks for making time to visit me!<br /><br />♥HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-55207974697543448572009-06-26T11:51:53.026-05:002009-06-26T11:51:53.026-05:00I love it....I just blogged about how we feel it i...I love it....I just blogged about how we feel it is so important to speak loving words just before they fall asleep so that is the last words they hear. <br /><br />You know....as we both have older children.....how quickly the time goes by.<br /><br />cherish.every.minute.<br />cherish.every.hug.<br />cherish.every.giggle.<br />cherish.every.moment.~*Michelle*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12973255141669832129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-41041867830302513132009-06-26T09:45:18.486-05:002009-06-26T09:45:18.486-05:00great mission!! i'm taking it too.

I'm the say way with my little baby too, she just turned one and I have noticed that I tend to tell her I love her frequently throughout the day (probably even more than 9 times) whenever I lift her up to hold her I usually give her kisses and tell her I love her. But my older three I don't tell them often enough. Like you said, it's not that I love them any less, I just need to be more mindfull that they need to hear it just as often as my baby. What a good reminder that kids of all ages, maybe even more so when they get older, need to hear us tell them we love them.<br />Julianne :)Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088007727747970281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-24759642957836260082009-06-25T13:45:49.597-05:002009-06-25T13:45:49.597-05:00What amazing words!

I once wrote a post about "Mom's Don't Stop Hugging Your Kids" (you can do a search or look on the labels under children or teenager if you want to read it).<br /><br />Anyway, when my oldest was around 14 I realized that I had stopped hugging or kissing him as much, as I thought he might not like it.<br /><br />But the Lord showed me otherwise and I began to give him an occasional hug, or kiss or I love you as I walked by. <br /><br />I was worried that he might think I loved his younger brother more as I cuddled with him still because he was younger.<br /><br />The I Love You's were easy for me but the physical hugs were what I had gotten away from.<br /><br />So I say not only say I love you but don't stop giving hugs, even at (especially at) 14!momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-37863488499522355832009-06-25T11:34:03.796-05:002009-06-25T11:34:03.796-05:00Christi,

I soo understand missing your kids when they are away! and seeing them pull together and love each other makes our mommas heart sing with Joy! <br /><br />The greatest gift is LOVE....sharing, giving it to those around you is a gift from and to Our Heavenly Father! You are doing such a great job! Your mission is accomplished each time you give and pour out....LOVE.<br />Sometimes it with words or affection and sometimes it is with discipline or serving. There are so many forms of LOVE but I see such a heart full of it for your family and all those you come in contact with in ministry!<br /><br />Blessings to youLorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-26799191029375231082009-06-25T11:32:53.855-05:002009-06-25T11:32:53.855-05:00Christy,

When I'm at work, I feel that love is what is lacking with those incarcerated. It's sad that some of them perhaps grew up not even knowing it. I often think, if they were loved i am sure they wouldn't be committing crimes.<br />I always tell my hubby and my son for us to feel like every day is our last day. Doing so helps us remember to do things in loving ways and say "I love you" that otherwise we would have forgotten to say, or even too tired to say. It is God's greatest attribute so we can truly learn from the Author of love. I am with you on your mission sister Christy. May God cover you and your family comfort at this time of separation. For a mom, 2 weeks feels like years, so I know how hard it must be! Have a blessed week and love you in Christ!!!RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-19700953876868561832009-06-25T10:03:50.785-05:002009-06-25T10:03:50.785-05:00What a neat idea!

Ashton in particular seems to be going through a phase where she wants to cuddle and be hugged a lot, and since she's almost a teen and I don't know how much longer it's gonna last, I try to give her as much attention and affection as she needs. Hopefully I'm doing a decent job! BTW-make sure you tell your hubby too!!!<br />JenJennifer W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08192796018178306392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-35522254824516481362009-06-25T09:59:12.121-05:002009-06-25T09:59:12.121-05:00The "I Love You" word is said frequently...The "I Love You" word is said frequently at our house.

Thank You for forgiveness of the sins that we have carried around for so long. Thank You for cleansing us from all unrighteousness for Your Sons' Name Sake, our Lord and Savior. Thank You for making ALL things beautiful in Your time. Your perfect time. I praise You Father and thank You that You have never given up on us, even when we have turned away from You and doubting Your will for our lives. My words will never, NEVER be able to express Your majesty, Your glory, Your power, Your love. It is too far reaching. You came to us, You destined us to be Your's. WOW...we are Your's and You are our's. And NOTHING can separate us from Your love."<br /><br />I've been praying for months and actually sharing with the ladies in my bible study on Monday nights about grasping, clinging, accepting, the love that God has for us. To TRULY walk in His love. I think the hardest thing is for many is to truly believe, trust and believe in the love that God has for us. I praise God for opening my heart and letting me accept His abundant love and walk in it on a daily basis...<br /><br />God bless sis!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-2916906779931149072009-06-25T06:25:32.492-05:002009-06-25T06:25:32.492-05:00You are so right.
