I am....

Hanging by a moment with you....

Every moment is a gift; it is a sacrament.. It is the present moment. As our sweet baby's namesake says, each moment is a sacrament, in which we are given so many opportunities to experience God's love, His joy. There is nothing that occurs that is outside His will or allowance. Everything. Matters. Thank you, Lord, for all that you have given us. All the good, all the hard, all that appeared "bad," You let be, and we thank YOU. No one will ever know the details behind occurrences in our lives, and we will not know the details of their lives and decisions. But, we trust YOU Who does know all.

You are a dear husband who has given so much... the little blossoms of love that fill our home with joy, smiles, opportunities for us both to grow in virtue. Thank you for our little loves, who have been brought into existence for eternity. Does life get sweeter?

These moments with you are a gift. How could labor have gone any smoother with you and God by my side? And, our little loves praying and cheering us forward, crying touching me, holding my hand, kissing me?

The moments we have together are something else. It was heaven on earth when we had those new moments together at the very beginning, but with the hills, valleys, and cliffs, I can say that my love for you as reached peaks that only seem to soar higher and lock their bases deeper into the earth.

Preparing for our sweet baby

Now, we are at 37 weeks and the time with this sweet little baby inside has flown. Carrying life is such a gift. WE cannot wait to meet this little boy or girl, who will be smothered in arms of love.
