Please Explain...

Please explain, if you can, why even with a little one who cannot yet crawl, our home can get so quickly strewn with baby clothes, blankets, toys, books, etc.!!!! It's something else! Oh, well, these messes are quickly picked up... it's the messes of later years that are harder to clean up... the pen on the wall, the broken vase, the broken hearts! And that little three toothed grin and pudgy hands and feet make it worth it anyway!

How I'd love to come hold that precious little Clara and help you clean up some of those messes...! Wow, Gracie! How true your thoughts are about the messes later on being "harder to clean up"! Isn't it fascinating to think of all the things we do in a day that are "clean up" kinds of things! This seems to have real significance and relevance to that thorough relationship "clean up" so crucial to genuinely loving relationships, doesn't it? I like the way you worded it, "...the pen on the wall, the broken vase, the broken hearts"! Why is it that we are so prone to neglect the broken hearts messes that we make, while often becoming obsessed with "cleaning up" other things? I think perhaps because we are often oblivious to the messes we make in the heart realm. Our hearts are often like our "back room closets" that we feel free to neglect and ignore. Then there is also the fact that we love our comfort zone and dealing thoroughly with heart messes, is not comfortable and easy! But SO VERY worth it! I've enjoyed getting to read your blogs! Guess Who!
