Look at him! isn't he cute? God carefully crafted and designed him; and then gave him to us for us to raise him! and our Josu! and this wee lassie! God is good.
seriously - - I have been thinking about this all week long. I guess I have always genuinely thought of our children as a being gifts to us - - but in extremely general terms, and for the first time ever, It dawned on me that God "gifts" our children to us after having purposefully created them - - and that our children, with their specific gifts, personalities, and struggles are meant for US! kind of obvious, I guess. thinking about it in those specific terms, though, excites me.

Those are such precious gifts. Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes it's easy to forget the truth.
