Oh, this sweet boy,
nearly getting lost at the end of the line
as he grows out of baby stage
without much fanfare about what he can do.
nearly getting lost at the end of the line
as he grows out of baby stage
without much fanfare about what he can do.
So how can I even begin to express
the covert joy he has brought!
As his achievements sneak up on us,
I want him to know his special place,
and the truth that his life matters.
I want him to know his special place,
and the truth that his life matters.
What I know is that a long time ago,
I had my conversations with God
about giving our son a son -
yet only if he would have a heart to know Him.
After three girls - our joy and delight -
I was content to believe
that all was right and good.
Their family was beautiful, complete.
Our family was!
Our family was!
Or so I thought until one day -
the unexpected announcement!
the unexpected announcement!
With which, in a hallowed moment,
I could not help but know -
I could not help but know -
even in my unworthiness - know for certain -
that this is the boy I prayed for!
In God's perfect timing
He has given me my petition,
the one I asked of Him.
And oh, how fun the glimpses I get!
But greater still,
the joy to know Whose he is -
our youngest and dearly loved -
with a tender heart, a soft smile,
leaning in to meet face to face,
forehead to forehead
in baby embrace.
I sure do love you Jack Benjamin!

So beautiful! What a dear little boy -our little Peter loves to do the same forehead to forehead move. Sweet!! I've been having some "conversations" with the Lord about something very dear to my heart as well. And look forward to the day when I can write about His answer in our life.
