You haven't seen cute until...

...you see Jadyn blow kisses and wave goodbye to her mother because she is going home with Ashlee.

Oh yes, we have entered a new level in our relationship. Jadyn said my name tonight, even when I asked her to...

She gave me kisses.

Oh that smile, the giggle, the chubby cheeks.

I remember feeling this way about Alaina, this feeling of wonderment and awe. The thought that there is no way you could ever love another baby/child with the same intensity your heart now felt. But somehow, it sneaks up and happens again.

And you get this glimmer, tiny as it may be, of how God can love us all with the same intensity.

How His heart must just burst when we say His name, when we want to be near Him, when we love Him and the things He loves.

Love like that changes you.

Changes the way you see yourself...
others...
the world...
and Him.

May you be reminded of His intense love for you...
