Precious Emi Claire

Awwe..... the moment. I woke this morning before dawn unusually wide awake. As Emi lay next to me sleeping I couldn't help but cradle her up in my arms and draw her close. She stretched a moment and went softly back to sleep. As I stared at her flawless beauty before me I couldn't help but reflect on the blessings of a mighty God. This little perfect human given to me only by the acts of a powerful God and entrusted to me to protect and love with my whole being. Oh the joy in that moment! How could I have been chosen? Why me? Oh the delicate skin. The thick dark curls encircling her angelic face. Her rhythmic breathing that puffed the sweet breath that only a baby can possess. I breathed her in. Really felt her with every sense and just praised the creator and thought for one moment I knew (really knew) how much He loves us. Thank you Emi for a glimpse of heaven.
