Great is Thy Faithfulness
The days when our little Donny will want to be held all day are so short. I marvel at the feeling of being his favorite arms. Today, as I cuddled with him, I placed my forehead against his and he turned his face towards mine. He loves me!
I am well aware of how quickly the time passes. I want to share each precious moment with my little guy while he is still willing to stay close to my heart. I have been thinking about the blessing of being a wife and mom later in life than I would have planned. I wanted all this when I was 22, but God had other plans for me. And now I see some of the brilliance of his plan. Without those years of longing, I might take my Andy for granted. After three years of marriage, I still marvel at the gift he is to me. I am trying to make sure that I always hold the same level of gratitude in my heart for him and now for Donny too. That is why I am so glad to have so many people share him with me. I have never turned down an opportunity to let someone hold him and find joy in marveling at the little person that has joined us. Looking at the faces of literally hundreds of people who have loved on Donny has been one of the cheif joys of my lifetime. Here's a small sampling of the people who have held him. Look at their faces! Babies are God's best miracles because of how they affect us.

The morning after we brought him home I couldn't stop crying for joy at the beautiful life that we have to love. I am learning so much about God's faithfulness from him. I pray that I can learn to be at peace like Donny is with being cared for and held by the people who love him. I pray that he will always remember how to trust like a little child.
