Nine Years ago Today


Seems like just yesterday, But it is actually nine years today, God blessed me in such a sweet way. This little girl with big brown eyes and a headful of curls came into the world with a whimper and a cry and an outstretched hand. Immediately she took hold of her Daddy's heart and mine too. Now the curls are gone but the big brown eyes are the same and so is the hold on all our hearts. And though she is another year older she will always be my little girl. But first she is God's and that is good to know because though i love her so i can never love her like He. And on this "special" day i say another prayer of thanks for such a special girl. Happy Birthday Rachel. You are so loved.

Hey Charis.

You and Jeremy are blessed with a wonderful little girl. Give her a big birthday hug for me. Wow, I remember when Am was 9. The time went so fast, now she's ready to drive! Enjoy!

Thank you, Pat. You are also blessed with wonderful children and having you all as friends is a blessing to me. Jeremy reminded me of something last night that both fills me sadness and happiness at the same time. He reminded me that Rachel is halfway to eighteen! As parents we want our children to grow up and live the life God has given them but at the same time it is like you say, the time does go so fast! Love,charis
