I was already in bed when I decided I had to go get my computer to write. It's almost midnight and I was lying here thinking about what a wonderful day today has been. Today is Claire's birthday and I can't help but reflect on what a profound change she has made in me.
My life began one year ago today. I never knew true unconditional love until I met her. She is pure joy. Even as I sit here I can't think of a way to describe how I feel about her. I adore her. Who wouldn't? She is flawless in my eyes and I thank God every day for allowing me to be her mother. I am overcome by the mercy He has shown me. I am so undeserving. But that's the goodness of God's grace. He takes the most unlikely and unworthy and chooses to pour out His blessing on them. He has given me so much more than my heart desired--He knew what I needed even better than I. He knew who I needed and He sent her to me. My precious angel was sent from Heaven. Thank you, Lord, for loving me so much. I give Claire to You. I will spend everyday loving her with my whole heart and teaching her about You and your grace.
Thank you for indulging a sentimental mama. I will have lots of pictures and videos from her celebration very soon. Stay tuned :)
