As we get ready to celebrate Brady's 5th birthday tomorrow, it makes me think about how we know this is God's plan, but it doesn't take away the fact that we still miss him on earth. Which then leads me to think about God's love for us, His children. I know
how much I love and miss my
Brady boy but God loves us
even more? Yep. Wow. I can't even fathom how much it greives Him when we stray from His side, distance ourselves or disobey His commands (every day!). He desires to be near to us and for us to want to spend time with Him. After all, He created us to bring Him glory. I hope and pray that as I think of Brady and the joy he brought to us the short time he was here, I can remember God's grace and mercy towards me and try to love Him more, and bring Him glory.
One of the fun memories of Brady that i think of, especially as spring approaches (or shall i say is here!), is when we had a TON of caterpillars in our yard (and i mean millions!). He would constanly pick them up and play with them, and maybe even try to eat them. Wonder if there are caterpillars in heaven that he is playing with now?! Love it! Miss you buddy, Happy birthday, hope your partying it up!! Save your mama a place....
