Light of Life

Here I am again, wondering where the time has gone. How much do I love this child? Let me count the ways....

I love...
~his smile. It melts my heart when it's aimed at me.
~his laugh. It gives me joy, even when I haven't heard the joke.
~his charm. It's magnetic and produces uncontrollable hugs.
~his brain. How did he get to be so smart and witty? Amazing.
~his courage. He's not afraid of anything it seems, so unlike me as a child.
~his honesty. He says what he thinks and stands up for the Truth.
~his power. I've never had such an instinctive need to protect anyone.
~his heart. He passionately loves.

His name means "light" and he truly enlightens our lives.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord."
Psalm 127:3
