The Birth of our Son

What can I say? Nov 9th, at 5:26 pm, the doctor placed this beautiful little baby, on my chest. I squealed in excitement. Nothing can prepare you for the moment you see your first child. I am not sure what i expected but i could not believe my eyes when I saw this perfect little person, with tiny hands and feet and a remarkable little face. His eyes were opened and he looked up at me hearing me squeal.
It was amazing and took a while to sink in that he is mine! The day we were to leave the hospital, thats when I felt my knees fall to the ground and my eyes fill with tears of thankfulness that God would trust me with such a precious little bundle. He is mine to cherish and nurture. He is given by God that we may learn and enjoy the meaning and fullness of love.
I am reminded of the song...
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain day, because He lives
Dear Mister God, this is @ina...May he know you and love you and serve you all the days of His life.
