children

I think the LORD gave us children to teach us how to love.
It teaches us what it means to love unconditionally - like him.
Here's a little being completely vulnerable who can't survive without another human being.

So to be able to finally have a child is to learn what it means to love like the LORD.
Loving myles is a selfish thing...it's about me, me, me.
But loving caleb...I'm learning to put myself second.
Big and small things all have to be worked around him.

I'm responsible for him.
The biggest responsibility I have is him.

The LORD actually gave us the ability to create life.
I can't believe I gave birth to him.
I look at him learning every day and each moment is precious.
everything is worth celebrating...a new food, a new cry, a giggle, a look, a movement, a sleeping position...Nothing is small.

I want to enjoy every moment of his life.
Watch him learn and grow.
Help him and guide him.
Sometimes even say NO to him.

The LORD obviously wanted us to have an inkling of what it's like to be him loving us, his children.
