A tight squeeze from a child ... a blown kiss ... a little body burrowing into your arms ... nothing equals it here on earth.
I just finished putting my two youngest kids down for their naps; the youngest had to be disciplined because of disobedience, but was very willing to cuddle afterwards; and the older one hung tightly to my neck and then blew kisses.
I'm trying to learn "intentionality" - and one aspect is intentionally looking for things that are more important than the hustle and bustle of "normal" life. Things like the snowflakes sparkling like stars as they fall in bright sunshine; the wonder of the weekly garbage truck; and hugs and kisses from little kids who will very soon grow up.
