Endless and Overflowing Grace

It amazes me how quickly time flies! Becoming a mom somehow made time kick into warp speed! It's crazy that this pic was taken almost a year ago. She's grown up so much and changed so much in just one little year. I ran across this pic today. It is one of my very favorites. I can't put into words why. It just is. I could just stare at her for hours. What a precious angel! The innocence is overwhelming. The purity takes my breath away. New life, what an amazing thing. We both gave each other the gift of brand new life. Me to her, and her to me, and God---the creator and orchestrator of it all. I remain awestruck to this day about how He gave her to me. Nothing short of a miracle. She and I both started new lives together. Thank you God for my miraculous little angel and for your amazing grace. I desperately needed it and you graciously flooded my life with it. She's my living, breathing proof! I pray the tears of joy and gratitude rolling down my cheeks never dry up. Year after precious year, I will thank you for my angel and for your love and grace. Thank you Father for loving me when I was unlovable and forgiving me when I was unforgivable, and for blessing me when I needed it most. It saved my life. She saved my life. YOU saved my life. All I have and all that I am is yours.

Being greatful is one of the most powerful and highest responses we can give God in response to His love and all the gifts He gives us, and you are always greatful. I agree that you have been blessed, but no one is more deserving of God's favor than you. Giving to you is extremely easy, because you appreciate it.
