Dressember day #8- Cozy snuggling

This here, folks, is how to make dress-wearing comfy: leggings and slipper socks.  Maybe not ultra stylish or sleek, but since that wasn't what I was going for, I enjoyed the comfy.  EJ was able to take this photo with minimal (although not quite non-existent) blurriness.  He is always SOOOOO ready to help with anything Mommy or Daddy is doing and taking today's photo was no exception.  He is also a big snuggler and sometimes he will randomly say during the day, "Mommy snuggles!" and come over and want me to snuggle with him on the couch.  Even my littlest munchkin is getting to be quite the snuggler (especially in the wee hours of the night when he makes it known he would much prefer snuggling with Mommy or Daddy in their bed than with his stuffed animals in his crib).  And most of the time, it is a wonderful delight for this physical affection Momma!

Sometimes I think for a moment about the little ones whose only touch has been abuse and I can only stand to think on it for a moment...it hurts my heart in a way that is almost unbearable.  I just want to rescue them, hold them, snuggle them gently and whisper that they are safe and loved and priceless and valuable.  So today I see the Lord and ask Him, in the wee of the night, when these little ones are hurting beyond what we can comprehend, would You hold them and comfort them?  Would you whisper to them that there are people fighting for their safety and rescue? And Lord would you empower the rescuers in the midst of the fight to know where and when to go to rescue them?  Thank you Lord that you are a God who is bigger than this evil. And thank You that You allow us to be a part of Your rescue plan.

Thanks to all who are praying and supporting financially the rescue of victims of human trafficking.
