A VERY GOOD Day!

You may remember that I proposed "more" on the subject of "Waiting...." on Monday, but God had other plans yesterday--and they were very GOOD plans (He never stops holding our future)!  The time of waiting on Colt was about to be fulfilled.  Early on I received a phone call from our son--he and Nikki were on the way to the hospital again. Eventually it was determined that she was in true labor, so she was placed in line for a c-section (previously planned due to labor history and size of this baby boy).

About 4:15pm Colt Lawrence was born, all 10lbs. 11 oz. and 21 1/2 inches of him!! 

Our son, the adoring father of this big baby boy, came out of the nursery to show off his new son to the first son, and anxious grandparents.




It never gets old, welcoming a miracle bundle of God's creation new in our arms. We waited for this moment...and he was so worth the wait...blessing beyond words...

                                                                                                                                                        

This Nana is speechless...so many thoughts to put into words so finite...blessing so full...perfect gift...unknown treasure...family expanding...love offering back to the Creator...

   

I'm holding not quite 3 year old grandson  with eyes so questioning...trying to comprehend what this doll that sleeps and moves and opens his eyes to his Mamaw's voice is all about....baby in the arms of HIS Daddy...

But thoughts change quickly when you're still just 2...as he grabs Nana's hand, "Let's go watch movie..." that has kept him occupied today in the kid's waiting room.

And later...what did almost 3 boy-brother offer to baby in arms of his Mamaw?...precious gentle strokes to forehead...sweet butterfly kisses...and a question to Daddy, "Are we going to take him home?"...and eyes that said..."I want to take him home!"

And mommy of 2 now taking it all in, smiles so full, joy overflowing, thoughts far above physical "labor" of love...


And the thanks to God is overflowing...each of us gathered knows Him to be the author of our days, the Lord Almighty, the One who holds the future....the Alpha and Omega....the beginning and the end.  To Him be the Glory!!


A VERY GOOD Day!
