ARITHMETIC OF FAMILY / ARITHMETIC OF GOD


Last night, just before bedtime, I caught Mitchell's little brother Wyatt sitting by his bed and kissing his hand. Wyatt loves his older brother so much.

Love is such an interesting phenomenon. When we had our first child I thought to myself "I love this child so much, it is impossible for me to love another human more than this!" In fact, I often wondered if I even had the capacity to love another person because the circumference of my love was bursting at the seams. Then, my second child arrived. And I discovered that I didn't need to divide the love I felt for my first and share it with my second child. My love multiplied. And so it continued ... with each child my capacity to love increased exponentially. Oh, the arithmetic of family ... the arithmetic of God's plan.
