"I Love You This Much"

My mother sent me a Valentine's Day package today!!!! Who knew a 24 year old could get so excited about receiving a package in the mail. It honestly was the highlight of my day today, travel nursing can be pretty lonely at times. Not only have I devoured three of her homemade snicker-doodle cookies, I also inhaled a huge cup of scooter doodle coffee with a few squares of dark chocolate regardless of the fact it's bedtime. All my favorites that she took the time to make and send me. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to dive right in.  My mother has this gift for picking out children's books for me that expresses her care, her love, her concern for me.  It's been years since I have gotten one from her-but I was blessed this year with a small story book entitled "I Love You This Much" It brought fond memories of my mother's love for me, as well as the ever-abounding love from our heavenly father. I hope this story brings you as much joy as it brought me today. Happy Valentine's day to all my friends and family. 


When you arise with sleepy eyes, my smiling face you see. 


I always say, "Well, look who's up".  You laugh and say, "It's me!" 


How I love your morning hug; you nestle in my touch. You wait to hear me whisper low, "I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH."


I love you best. I love you most. I love you high. I love you low. I love you deep. I love you wide. I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH. 


Throughout the day we hide and seek; I love to see you smile.  I always say, "I found you, dear!"...But I had you all the while.  


You run to me with open arms; I love to feel your touch. 


We shout out loud for all the hear "I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH!"


I love you best. I love you most. I love you high. I love you low. I love you deep. I love you wide. I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH! 


I trust you know that God is so, by what I say and do. I tell you he is safe and sure and what he says is true. He holds you in his loving arms, you feel his tender touch. You hear the heavenly father say, "I love you this much!"


When day is done at setting sun, we bow our heads and pray. I trust you to God's loving care. 


You safely drift away. I kiss you on your sleepy head; with one last gentle touch. The words still ringing in our ears, "I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH". 


I love you best. I love you most. I love you high. I love you low. I love you dep. I love you wide. I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH!
