My Son

I am absolutely fascinated and amazed by my 4-month-old son, our first and only child thus far. He has such a wonderful spirit about him, besides being opinionated! He is constantly "talking" about his thoughts on everything from the dog, to food, to the Christmas tree, to his outfit, to Daddy's sports teams and more! I am so amazed - every day - with how he learns new things. He has recently started grabbing objects and trying to roll over from his back to his stomach. My favorite time of day is when I get home from work and he gives me the biggest smile, as if to say "You're home!" It fills my heart with joy and love every single day.

Since the day he was born, I have come to the realization of God's BIG, amazing love for us that he demonstrated through His Son. My heart is full of love for my son, I beam with pride when I'm out with him, and I ache when he hurts in any way. But how much greater is God's love for us?

I can only imagine the pride and love that God our Father had for His Son, our Redeemer. He was God's creation - man - in perfect form. And I can't fathom the pain He felt when He watched the very sinners that Jesus died for crucify Him brutally. I could not make such a sacrifice with my precious son. But I thank God every day that He did.

Thank you Father.
