A baby's baptism is making quite the "splash" on TikTok this week after a swift hit of the prayer book took things in a completely different direction.
"A mom-heart doesn’t change just because her kids are adults. And no one can ever take that spot in a child’s heart... grown or not. As I’ve gotten older, my mom still does the same motherly things she’s always done, now for me and my babies. She still stands outside, rain or shine, and waves goodbye as we leave."
He doesn’t comment on my photos telling me how “gorgeous” or “hot” I am to him, and I don’t get the “I love you too, baby’s” whenever I post something admiring him.
We played phone tag for hours and then he texted me a text I hope no one ever has to receive from someone they love and miss: “Still not working. Phone’s going to die. If this goes through, I love you.”
"I’m scared spitless. I’m beyond terrified to 'go there.' This is one of those areas which I do not claim to be an expert in. Yet I find the topic so biblically underdeveloped."
She is tired. She is overwhelmed. She’s running this ship alone while you wait to be told what to do. She is hoping one day you don’t await her instructions, and you just do the thing that needs to be done.
"While you are not her Savior, and shouldn’t carry that burden around, you are there to protect her. She has one knight in shining armor with skin on in this world. You."
If they’re quiet, hug your spouse. If they seem down, hug them. If they’re happy as a lark, hug them. If you’ve had a fight, hug them. If you want to make-up, hug them.
Of course, I cannot speak on behalf of every husband, but I hope to speak on behalf of some, and to offer a husband’s perspective on a wife’s postpartum body.
"You just glow brighter when you’re loved properly. Girls, stop being the girl on the left. Stop rushing to get your life started. Wait for the one God made for you. I would give anything to go back and talk some sense into my 20-year-old self."
"The crap us moms do to keep the day together. We want it to be seen. We want it to be noticed. To be appreciated. See her for her beauty, the laugh you loved, remind her about that thing that made you fall in love with her."
