Not about self

My life right now is totally not about me. Being a mom means self-sacrifice. My thoughts revolve around Katie. Her needs, her pleasure, her safety...and on and on. I love my life. I love being a mom and caring for my little girl! My post was even just interrupted by my little cutie. (She was done with her bath & needed mommy time before breakfast. Btw, we are on vacation. The pictures below are just a small taste of the amazingness. )

Back to my thoughts...My devotional this morning was about how Christ was not concerned about raising himself up. His focus was on his Father's work. He came to give eternal life n Heaven to all who believe in Him. It caused Him pain, yet he selflessly went to the cross.

Then I read the following verses:
"So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity."
Colossians 3:12-14 NASB

I want my life to reflect God's love to those around me. My hope is that Katie will see how I am with others and that she would how learn to be compassionate, kind & gentle; thinking of others before herself. So many people are so selfish & raised to be that way or don't even realize that how they are acting is very selfish. Christ is the best examples of being selfless. I'm hoping to reflect Him as I take care of Katie.
