Two years ago, I was laying in a hospital bed holding the most wonderful little baby I had ever seen. Snow was slowly dancing to the ground and time seemed to stand still as the little life in my arms looked into my eyes for the first time. My heart ached as I experienced the most intense love I've ever known- a love that my Saviour feels everyday for each one of His children in a greater way than I'll ever understand. I must have asked a thousand times that day, "Lord, is this what Your love for me feels like?" to which I almost audibly heard Him say, "No, my love, that's not even close."Those days in the hospital seem like just yesterday, but they also feel decades ago. It's been exactly 2 years and I have treasured each special day. There have been difficult days (newfound food allergies, swine flu, and nap-less Sundays) but those memories won't ever stain the great days (trips to the zoo, playing at the park, swimming, sharing oreos). Here are a few pictures that I snapped of Eli at our house today:
