If There Ever Was

If there ever was...
...a family who longed for a child.
If there ever was...
...a woman who prayed for a family.
If there ever was...
...the surprise of a pregnancy test.
If there ever was...
...a child who was wanted.
If there ever was...
...a miracle in a womb.
If there ever was...
...a labor worth going through.
If there ever was...
...a child enjoyed.
If there ever was...
...love.

 It is here.  In this house.  And today he is turning 8 years old.

He is...

wanted, loved, prayed for, hoped for and appreciated.

He is...
kind, funny, stubborn, emotional and relational.

He is...
energetic, spunky, sassy and sweet.

He is...
smart, thoughtful, teachable and willing.


He is tender, creative, attached and simple.

He is our son.  One of the joys of our life.  He is blessed, healthy, and chosen.

We are so thankful.

Happy Birthday, Prairie Kid.  And, Lord, thank You for this gift.
