Six months of Love

Dear Wyatt,I wonder what could be greater than hope? Hope can help people survive. Hope can win elections. Hope can change our attitude. Hope is our greatest prayer.

I wonder what can be greater than faith? Believing in a saving father. Believing that the God of our Universe is here with us, struggling with us, laughing with us. Believing that faith is our guide, our path.

It's love. Hard to believe, but LOVE (according to our inspiring word of our savior) is greater than either Hope or Faith. Maybe it is because love provides the path for both Hope and Faith. It is Love. Amazing, unfailing, inspiring LOVE.

Sweet boy, in your six months of life, you have been LOVED, LOVED, LOVED and LOVED. You have been loved through your learning, fusiness, messiness, happiness and sickness. You have been Loved by so many people. You are so blessed that SO many people have chosen to LOVE you. I pray that you will always know their love, that you will always know the importance of friends and family, that you never, ever question how LOVED you are. Look at who all has LOVED you in your first few months!

Wyatt, I get this verse for the first time...

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE." 1 Cor 13:13. You are loved! May you always know Love; and I pray you will seek the love of God in your daily walk. Bless you sweet, LOVED baby!

Grow big,

Your mom
