Small Things

It’s the small things that can change your life.  It’s the small things that can remind you just how big love is.

This happened Saturday in an unexpected way for Barak. Just a short time before, he had sent his favorite hat to Emma. When Emma appeared on the screen sporting his new hat, it really touched both of us. B told him that he’d just been wearing it a few weeks earlier, and he loved seeing it on Emma.
Later that night in the midst of an unrelated conversation, B  turned to me and said, “Maaan! It’s crazy that I was just wearing that hat and now our son has it.” He was all smiles.

We can’t hold them yet, but we can share our love and receive theirs.  Sometimes it’s through a hat. Or a favorite scarf. Or a big smile. Or a heart we make with our hands and share via Skype. Or an email every day for six months. Or a “Los quiero mucho.” Or not ever wanting to hang up the phone. Or laughing together.  
God is giving us a lifetime of love—together.
