Dear Lillian, I saw your beautiful feet today...

I had the anatomy ultrasound today and they said you looked perfectly healthy. It seems like you have my feet.

I think about those feet often when you kick inside my stomach...
I often wonder when I'll be able to hold those little feet. When will you take your first steps? I think about painting your toes and future trips to get pedicures together. I think about the pidder padder of them running through the house. I think about how you'll try on my oversized heels and stomp around in them. I think about the times you'll run to me when you're hurt. I think about you learning to kick in the water. I think about taking you to get new shoes for the first day of school. I think about the times you'll stomp up the stairs mad. About gym shoes, high heels and even prom shoes. I think about you walking out the door on your first date. Or those little feet walking across the stage at your high school graduation. I think about those feet stepping in your wedding gown and walking down the aisle at your wedding.

I see those little feet in the picture and I see an entire future. Lillian, I pray you use those feet to follow Christ, to walk away from harm and evil, and to honor God with all that you do. Use your beautiful feet to serve God with your talents.

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
