During this trip you learned to smile. You have proceeded to manipulate me with it during your 3AM feedings. Good thing you learned how to do that, too, because I was about to go crazy with the lack of sleep. I can't get mad when you flash that smile at me! :-)
You were spoiled rotten with books and toys and clothes! Sadly, you will have no recollection of your first Christmas or what you received. As thankful as I am for those presents, I hope you will remember at future Christmases how loved you are. It's not about the presents. It's about the baby Jesus, the Prince of Peace...and how he loves us. Oh how he loves us.
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
He loves us unconditionally, he knows our faults, yet he still loves us. I hope you never forget the love he has for you. The love a parent has for their child is modeled after the way God loves his children...unconditionally.
