In my very biased opinion, children can be the greatest source of joy in life.
Two years ago, we were blessed with a son. I thought then that my heart couldn't be fuller. When we realized baby no. 2 was on the way, I didn't think I'd be able to love her as well as I did my sweet boy. Then our princess came along and again my heart was filled like I've never known!
As I snuggled my daughter to me and gently rocked her to sleep tonight; watching her eyes flutter as she watched me until she couldn't keep them open anymore. My heart swelled and I had a lump in my throat.
Those little eyes watch my every move. They see me smile, cry and get angry. They see the movies I watch and the food I eat. Her tiny gaze takes in this alien world around her with me as her guide. That's a lot of responsibility!
Smelling her sweet baby breath as I kissed her and laid her down, I felt tears in my eyes. Right there, already on my knees, as I laid her down, I prayed a tearful prayer over her tiny body.
I asked God to teach me to set the right examples for her. Help me make the right choices, and to teach her by example how to be a good girl, a loving wife and a great mother. I asked Him to guide her through life as he has me and to help her to be a light in this world, lit by His love!
I trust the big guy. He's going to take care of our girl. She's going to change the world!
-Love is the key
