Happy One Year to You!!!

I say that to my 3 and a half-month-old son, because a year ago today our prayer was heard and God created our little Caleb Nathaniel. His life and our journey as parents began a year ago. We recognized then that a new soul has entered this world and that soul is alive and eternal, just as our “older” souls are alive. We knew that no matter what happened in the next 9 months, God has given us a child, an eternal inheritance, whom we would meet one day. That day came 9 months later with the birth of our son on Christmas Eve - God’s Christmas gift to us.

Yesterday, we celebrated Christ’s resurrection and our new life in Him. We have the hope of a million tomorrows, because He conquered death and the grave – He lives!

Today, on this beautiful spring day, we rejoice in Caleb’s life. A year ago, his life began. What a blessing his little life has been to us already! He is sweetly sleeping on my lap right now and as I look down at him, I am filled with love and gratitude... and wonder. You have lived a whole year, Little One! Did you know that?
