My husband has been tickling our daughter while she sits in his belly in bed. He has taught her to raise her arms when she wants him to continue tickling her. So, she copies the sounds of his saying, “Arms up!” as she throws her arms into the air, he tickles her, she cackles, and then she falls forward face first onto his chest. She sits up, and the cycle repeats. It is immensely wholesome and calming for my nerves and senses.
Thank you, God. Please, keep us safe, make us well, and help us to see that we are where you want us to be. Help us to be our best selves and to be kind with one another. In your name, I pray. Amen.
