Time! Boy how time has just flown. I was reading a post that a friend wrote about planning a birthday party for her daughter. It then reminded me that we are not to far away from celebrating the number 1 birthday for Sadie. I can't believe how big she is getting and how absolutely gorgeous she is. What a blessing from God. My only daughter out of 4 babies and I am loving it. I am excited to celebrate this birthday, but I admit it is a tad bitter sweet for me. Her once sweet baby's breath is now replaced with teeth and love for table food. Her once gentle cry is now replaced with sounds, words and of course, my favorite, the giggles. She used to just lay in my arms like an angel and I would stare at her for as long as I could. Now she crawls and will soon walk and if I want to stare I have to wait till bed time and take a little peek through the door. My baby is growing, as she should, but if I could pause time for just a bit longer so I could savor this moment I just might.
Sadie Danielle. I love you with all my heart and look forward to your beautiful smile every morning. Your hugs and kisses are priceless. My how you have grown in just ten and a half short months. I pray you walk in health and joy. I pray you hear the God's voice even at a young age and feel his presence even now as your father and I pray over you. I know we won't do everything right, but I am sure of one thing that our unconditional love will never change. By the grace of God we will teach you the ways of the Lord so that when you are old you shall not depart. I know daughter that you will walk in the calling God has for you, and will fulfill his plan. God has put a heart of compassion and a heart of joy in you from the beginning. He is going to use you to touch many lives. You have already impacted, touched and changed ours.
I love you my sweet, sweet girl!
