Here, Nana is reading to the kids in baby sister’s room. She tells me that she has no room in her lap for another grandchild, and space on her lap was limited as you may can tell from the pics.
We’ve been reading “Baby on the Way” by Sears, Sears, and Watts, which says that even though mommy’s lap is getting smaller and smaller, “there’s always room for you on your mommy’s lap.” For now, I have room for all three of my babies, and I hope to always have room for them.
And depending on the type of mommy you have, this could be true for a short time or for a lifetime. Some moms parent differently. Whatever the case may be, whether there is room for you in your mom’s lap even in adulthood, there is always, without fail, without question, room for you in the Heavenly Father’s lap. It is the safest place you can possibly be. He holds you, he loves you, and no matter who else He is holding and loving, He always has room for you on His lap.
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” Psalm 91:4
“He tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms
and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young.”
Isaiah 40:11
