safe

Tonight as I am putting Mac to bed, he says, 

"I feel safe with you."

My heart just sank and smiled at the same time.

We live in such a harsh world.  

All I ever want for my children is that they would feel safe and loved.

My heart smiled because he said this on the heels of being disciplined.

He got a note sent home from the teacher.

First.One.Ever.

He was reading a book while the teacher was reading.

So, he had to spend the afternoon in his room and no tv today. (He only gets 30 minutes when he gets home....but he LOVES that 30 mins to unwind.)

He feels safe with me, even when I discipline him.

I feel the same with Jesus.  

Safe.

Even when I am disciplined.
