Sharing the joy...

I am just enjoying this baby soooo much! Everytime I look at her I am overwhelmed with God's grace on me--that I should once again be part of such a pleasure--when I thought it may never be possible again! Even though I wanted to stay in and adore her for at least another year, the world broke in and we had to run a few errands today. We had to go to one of those "gov't" offices, and our hearts bled as we witnessed little babies being treated with indifference and disdain--children are so precious! Right now I have people under my roof in all sorts of stages--from infancy to toddlerhood to pre-adolescence to young adulthood, and I can tell you they are all my favorite! My little toddler keeps us all in stitches, my 4yo's middle name means "heavenly"--and her every glance reminds you of angels' wings. I could go on and on from there, but this would be a very long post! Then there is my wonderful husband, who loves each child as much or more than I do. His heart is so soft, with that masculine strength, towards all children, but especially towards his own. He lives and breathes them, and constantly thinks of ways to be involved and love them. God has truly blessed us with each other, after all of the years of hardness and struggle, and the struggles we have gone through just this year alone, and we are strengthened by each as we grasp each other's hands and hearts. The tie that binds us is that we want to please Him, because He first loved us, and we see this life as an adventure in preparation for a heavenly eternity with Him. After our little office visit today, my husband remarked at how blessed we are--that we are not so distracted that we cannot enjoy the simple things, in the everyday. God does that--He gives you back life, and makes it abundant. Even the sorrow has meaning and is blessed. Here's hoping you are having a blessed day!
