Dear Brothers and Sisters;
No doubt, your children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren are treasures to you, praise God! I wanted to share that my 1 year old niece is adorable.
I dedicated her in the church, she is at church every Sunday, is the youngest member in her future children's group and loves to make noise when I'm giving the sermon. lol!
At home she is very healthy, laughs alot and is loved and nurtured by everyone in our house hold.
My wife and I don't have children and there are a few things I don't have the answers to. I trust she is in good hands with her Dad and Mom and of course, our Lord.
But I cannot help but "worry" about her everyday - falling, choking on a piece of food or what to do when she wants to eat what I'm eating.
I will get annoyed when I'm trying to study or sleep because she makes loud noises early in the morning.
She always wants attention from my wife so I will feel neglected.
I have these talks with my wife during our devotionals but her replies are, "get over it!", or "seriously, Bob!"
I know better, but am I feeling jealous, or is this normal even for a grown up?
I would be grateful for any thoughts you can share. Keep in mind I love my niece very much.
God bless you all and your children.
