Showered with Love

Just Think
Your son is here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed him
and made him the person he is.
God compares him to no one else --
he is one of a kind.
Your son will lack nothing
that God's grace can't give him.
God has allowed your son to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.
-- Roy Lessin--

Our family is very thankful for the outpouring of love we received from our church family this evening.  Since Ben decided to enter our family so early, there was no time for a baby shower before his arrival.  I find it only fitting that they decided to host the shower for us tonight instead - on the day Ben was originally due to be born.

One of our dear friends, Thea Oglesby, gave us a card with this poem along with her gift (special thanks for the car seat base!).  I could not have expressed how we feel about our miracle baby any better...and then I read this verse on the inside:
"Everyone shall stand in awe and confess the greatness of the miracles of God...they will realize what amazing things he does."  Psalm 64:9
