We prayed for this... this gift of squishy little boy cuteness... This gift of thick ankles stemming tall out of classic Vans shoes...
This gift of pudgy hands grabbing hold of life all around...
This gift of stellar smiles...
This gift of the small yet inquisitive...
The gift of see-through white mohawks,
The gift of him and the way his life draws me into You...
This gift of little boy laughter...
The gift of ocean blue eyes, looking into ours 365 days in a row...
The gift of health...
The gift of a hearty appetite....
The gift of reaching up to You...
The gift of crawling into Your arms...
The gift of innocent simplicity...
The gift of a year... a whole short year that You didn't have to give...
But You did!
Lord, thank you. Thank you for the privilege to love on one of your precious kids for a year full of days. Truly, truly, a gift!
Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy!
Loving you always, with our whole hearts!
