My sweet baby boy-
Life truly has gotten away from me lately. Daddy is finally home with us for good! Praise the Lord...single parenting is way hard. I have a whole new respect for those who do it long term. We can be a whole family again which makes my heart so incredibly joyful!
Tonight as I put you to sleep I realized just how much this time of the day means to me. I hope we continue our 'tradition' until you decide you are too old for me to rock you to sleep. Each night after Daddy or I give you your bath--which you LOVE by the way--I feed you and then sing and rock you to sleep. Although I may not have the best voice I sure enjoy these precious moments together. My greatest hope is that you grow up to be a loving God-fearing man. I feel the best way to start that process is by sing hymns to you every night and quietly whisper a prayer into your ear as you drift off to sleep.
Each night I swing these song with a few other occasionally mingled in:
*Amazing Grace
* Swing Low Sweet Chariot (which your Poppi sang to me when I was little)
*As the Deer
*Be Still and Know
*This World is Not My Home
* Jesus Loves Me
* Light the Fire
My prayers consist of many different things but I always pray that you grow strong, learn to love God and follow Him with all your heart, follow your dreams, marry a Christian woman, know you are loved, and that I remember you belong to Him.
We received a book at one of your baby showers called "God Gave Us You" and oh how true that is. During my bible study a few weeks ago we talked about the faith of Abraham when God told him to sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac, whom he had waited many years for. I thought to myself, "I don't know if I could do that." Abraham trusted in God enough to know that His plan was best and he also knew that God had given him Isaac so He could ask for him back. I pray fervently that God doesn't ask for you back, but if he does I will trust that it is in His plan.
I hope you treasure these nighttime moments as much as I do.
Goodnight my Angel
XOXO
