He's In Love with The Girl!

He's In Love with the Girl!

What a blessing a child is. My children have blessed me in many ways. I was there with my wife when our first son was born and I will never forget the sight of that newborn. I was overseas when my second son was born and the first time I saw him was at the airport. I remember that image and He was beautiful. As I sit here and reflect on the many blessings God has given me I am overwhelmed with God's mercy and grace toward me.
This past Friday I received one of the greatest blessings I have ever received. I really desire for my words here to be able to convey the depth of emotions, the strength of the experience and the intensity of the situation but alas I know that I will fall painfully short in the limited way I must describe what happened.
For the last nine months my eldest Son and His wife have been expecting their first child. As a parent I was very excited for them because I knew the joy of the experience already, but I was not prepared for what I was to experience with the birth of their child. Friday morning my daughter went into the hospital to deliver the newest member of the family, and that she did.
Friday night we welcomed the most perfect child I have ever seen into our family. I cannot express the depth of the blessing it is to have the daughter (In law) I have. She has given us (Yes I know God did it, but He used her) the most precious gift ever. I praise God for her, the love she shows my son, and the love she shows her husbands parents. She is a woman of great worth and through her God has blessed us with a Granddaughter.
Friday, we where able to welcome a precious child, 7lbs and 2 oz. of joy. My son was able to be by his wife's side during the birth and was the first one to bring the baby to show us. The flood of emotions I experienced is indescribable. Not just the emotions and love for my new Granddaughter, but for my son and his wife. I witnessed a young man totally swept away by love. My son is not a small man, but I witnessed a 7lb 2oz baby take total control of his every action. The look on his face the sound of his voice all said one thing and one thing only, He's in love with the girl! And that is the part that I was totally unprepared for, the joy I felt as I watched my son being totally consumed by the love of his child it was overwhelming. He's in love with the girl! It is amazing to watch, she has Daddy wrapped around her finger, and Poppy too.
When the little bundle of joy was brought to see Mommy, the same thing happened again, she was totally swept away by love. She's in love with the girl too!
I do not know what the future holds but I know this, the newest member of our family is loved. Loved, love with a pure love, a true love and a consuming love. She has her whole life ahead, and her Grandmother and I will do all to make sure she knows how special she is.
Because we are in love with the girl too!
