Baby girl, I love you SOOO very much, and I want you to know that YOU, in a special way, are literally a dream come true! You are one of those "delayed gratification" gifts that God plans for us so our appreciation can be at its height. Mommy and me will teach you more about that as you get older. Let me explain why you are a special dream come true...
I wanted to tell you how much I love you. It's December now, and we've known for some time that we should be expecting you on December 25, 2012 (that date will mean more to you later, but hopefully it's special because of family and friends and good food instead of just presents!). But we've been keeping an eye on you and you seem in a mighty big hurry to get out and meet us. I assure you the feeling is mutual, but it's probably a little stronger for mommy!

In many situations, especially reading things like this picture to the right, I find it helpful to ask, "IS God saying these things to me? HAVE people really turned on me? Does it have NOTHING to do with me? HAS God removed them from me? Are they gone because it would HINDER me?" |
AuthorI write to remember the lessons I learn as a Man, Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Pastor, and Friend. As I come to grips with the blackness within me, I am more appreciative of God's grace-filled grip. We all change in the seasons of life. This is my deep well... Archives
