I watched the love shine through.

Most Sunday’s at church, I have the pleasure of watching a young mother and her toddler during the services. I have watched the Mother grown from a child her son’s age into the woman she is today. Makes me feel a little old. Katie and her husband were married shortly after Kelly and I. Their family grew while ours didn’t, but I am happy for them. Kyler is the sweetest little boy, when he wants to be… That’s what is Nonnie says anyway. He’s only been sweet when I am around him. Kyler was in my VBS class, so I have been around him quite a bit. Anyway, back to my story… Kyler was playing with his tractor during the sermon and waving at me, I was waving back to him. Shame on me, I know I should have been listening to Bro. Tom but, Kyler is more interesting. Sorry Bro. Tom, I am a sucker for little kids… Kyler then turned to his Mom, Katie and sat in her lap. He began rubbing her neck and then he started touching her face. It was soooo sweet! All I could think was will I ever be able to have that situation? Am I jealous? In a way, yes. Does it make me not to want to be around kids? Heck NO!!! I love kids, always have and always will! I have enough friends will little ones that I don’t think I will ever lack for love from a child.
Back to Katie and Kyler… Kyler looked at his Mom with such love and adoration that I began to tear up. Then Kyler decided he wanted to love on his Daddy. He moved to Kevin’s lap and loved on him a while but quickly moved back to his Mom. After services while we were leaving church Kyler and his Nonnie were walking out the same time we were. He said Hi Ms. Angie, I said hi back. I told him he sure was sweet during services and I loved how he was loving on his Mommy. Of course, he looked at me like I was speaking another language. I pray that one day, Kelly and I will be blessed enough to adopt, soon, I really hope. I want to experience the love that Katie and Kyler shared for those few moments.
