yesterday was an amazing day for me. a spectacular first. i became an aunt! my little sister, after a long and strenuous labor (way to go Diana!) gave birth to a little boy, Jack Leon. and, as each birth must be, a miracle happened. i was excited for my sister, but when i looked at the pictures of my little nephew, i cried. i felt emotions bordering on ecstatic and thrilled--and i can't wait to hold him and love him and be the best aunt ever (ok, i may be a little crazy).
new birth. the miracle of a life beginning. a little boy who is looking forward to potty training, his first day of school, puberty, first love, angst about a job, uni, middle age, kids, grandkids...!!! wow. all that in a cute little 7.6lb bundle. it staggers the imagination.
may God bless Jack, wrap His hands around him and shape his little life into a shining light for Him.
Amen.
