Amazing Love

My baby adores me! Its the most amazing thing, this life that God has given me - to grow inside my body, to nourish with my body, to train, lead and teach with my heart. My sweet 3 1/2 month old Nathan, our fourth boy. His eyes scrunch up with smiles as he sees me, his cheeks overflow with gladness, he coos as he nestles and nurses... and its all for me! Me! I could have never imagined being loved this way. He does not know my sins and shortcomings. He does not see how many times a day I let myself, or someone else, down. All he knows is me, in the pureness of his knowledge, and he loves me, unconditionally. Is this how my Father sees me, under the covering of Christ's sacrifice? I can only wonder. My child is such an amazing gift. I understand more and more why God calls them blessings. The meaning gets deeper with each little one we're given. How could I not long for more of these sweet ones to fill our home?!
