Spreading the Love!

Yesterday was such a nice Saturday for our family. We had a relaxing time and did our FHE(Family Home Evening) activity. Our lesson was on love, for the obvious reasons. We read a Bible verse about love and read a story from our church's magazine geared at children. At the end of the lesson it had a craft idea of doing paper hearts with reasons we love each other, this is something I had done for the kids every year and didn't expect them to start doing it just yet. I was pretty surprised when they said they wanted to do it too, so that's what we did. It was so interesting to see all the different things kids were writing about each other and their awesome parents as well. Anyway, back to my point, seeing my kids make these little hearts with reasons they love each other made me think about how often I forget to express my love for them. I feel like every parent has this issue and if you claim not to, you're lying. I wish there was more time in the day so I could truly show them how I feel about them, because 24 hours just isn't enough! I may sound crazy for saying this, but I want to start focusing on showing them I love them more. I'm not sure how, but I am going to do it! Please wish me luck because with nine kids it may be hard to find ways to show love and to know how these kids need to be loved because every single one of our kids is different.
