Lullaby

Came across this great quote:

"The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint." - James Fenton

How true it is that singing to our children sooths us just as much, umm, maybe more than it even soothes them. I have sometimes referred to myself as a schizophrenic mother, one minute angry and quite literally the next amazed at how much I love the child I was so angry at one minute prior. God is good to sustain in the moments of anger and amazing to give us moments of love.
