All night I stand watch like a motherly church gargoyle perched on the edge of his crib. I find little sleep in between the feedings, diaper changing and random baby sounds that make me open an eye.
Precious, precious twilight hours when thoughts cross my wandering mind.....
Our home is where he will be safe, loved and comforted.
Learn about faith and trust.
Get into mischief with his sister and know the consequences.
Find protection from those that may jeer him in his adolescent years.
Learn to see beauty in everything.
Sanctuary is defined as a sacred place, a place of refuge or protection where things of great value may be kept....what could be a better description of family and home.
