I'm often moved to sweet tears with the preciousness of life, and my love for my family, and the thought that we almost never had a third child and oh, how THANKFUL I am that we did!! Praise God that His ways are higher than mine, and His thoughts greater than mine! He knew what we needed long before we ourselves knew, and I'm so thankful He did! Walker's just the perfect little missing piece of our family. And I can't stop kissing him!!
Andrew's been off work for a week, and it's been amazing!! He has another 5 days or so at home, and I wish he could stay forever. lol. He's been so good to me and the boys. I don't deserve him at all!!
J and B have just been angels! They are so, so loving toward Walker and so eager to help me and have had such great attitudes about everything! They are just so joyful and loving and patient. There has been no resentment or jealousy (yet) toward the little guy who occasionally needs all my attention. I know this is nothing short of the grace of God in our family!! I'm so thankful!
Charley has been very, extremely loyal to Walker. It's been crazy to see her loyalty shift so much. Now that she's not quite so intense (for which I'm thankful), it's been sweet to watch.
It's been a very rainy week. No swimming, but lots of indoor activities, so that's been nice.
My incision is healing very well, my pain is minimal, and my milk supply is abundant. All things to praise God for!
Our church body has just been amazing! Bringing us meals and gifts and groceries and texting to see how they can help and pray. They have just been awesome and such a gift from God!
I just finished an hour and half in the Word, and it was so refreshing for my soul! The Word of God really does bring life to the soul!
I'm in Galatians 4, and learning about the purpose of the law (demands explicit obedience, revealed sin, very conditional, showed men their need and guilt, given by angels to Moses, prepared men for Christ, was a stern jailor, was also a preperatory tutor, introduced a period of imprisonment, and introduced a universal sense of need, moral helplessness, and utter condemnation) verses the promise given to Abraham (which was gracious, had power to bless, defines the very disposition and purpose of God, found it's fulfillment in Christ, unconditional gift of grace, given directly by God and thus on a higher plane than the law, was found in the incarnation of Christ which was to prepare for the redemption, redemption was for the grace of adoption for those who have faith, and b/c of adoption there has been the gift of the Holy Spirit by which our hearts can cry "Abba, Father", a loving and trusting entreaty.) It's been such a great study! Praise God for the grace of adoption!
Ok, I'll sign off for now, bc I want to go snuggle with the tiniest love.
I love him so much, my heart might just explode. I'll never, ever grow tired of loving this sweet boy!!
