Teething Pains

Jax has started teething which has turned out to be a very long and painful process for everyone. He has also learned to say his first word - "Mama" (I win!). He mostly uses it when he wants me to pick him up or when his gums are hurting :( It is only 9:40p and he has already woken up 3x when he usually sleeps straight through the night. So, I go in there and pick him up and hold him close to me for awhile. Then, once he is comforted, back to sleep. It occurs to me that this is what my Father does for me. When I'm hurting and I don't understand why, He, who knows infinitely more than I will ever comprehend picks me up, tucks me into His chest, and holds me until I am comforted. All we have to do is cry out to Him, "Abba" Dada...
