Oh the joys of a new baby!!! I had the pleasure of attending an old roomie's baby shower on Friday night over in Mililani. This is actually Lauryn's third child but her first little girl. Such a cutie and a true blessing to her family.
Children are truly a blessing from the Lord. So often they are not considered as that. It makes my heart sad to hear some parents refer to their children as a burden or a mistake as God created them to be a blessing.
Yes I know... I don't have children of my own but having 24 children on a daily basis has taught me so much about the way they think and see the world. God created in them an imagination and a sense of exploration that we as adults have outgrown somewhere along the way. They see the world in a way that teaches me things daily. Their cute phrases and words astound me as to what is going on inside their minds and hearts. These little ones are so precious in His sight and they should be just as much a treasure in ours as God has called us (whether you are a parent, friend, aunty, uncle, grandparent, etc) to train up these children in the way they should go.
So if you have children in your life... love them... pray for them and with them... teach them... and most of all show them that they are a blessing!
Oh Sweet Zoey!!! I know how much of a blessing she must be to her Mommy and Daddy and how much they are a blessing to her. I am so happy you got to see her and her family!
