Blessings

God blessed our family this weekend with a beautiful baby boy, Benjamin Gray. A beloved nephew. A cherished cousin. Oh how we have waited and prayed for this boy. And the waiting was long and hard, fraught with pain and fear. And yet, there is joy, overwhelming joy that comes with new life. So we praise God as the pain of childbirth has come to an end and the joy of life has begun. 

Pray for my sister and brother-in-law as they adjust to the realities of parenthood, the euphoric joy and the sleepless nights, and everything else in between. Pray for this sweet boy that he may be a healthy and happy baby.  And most of all, pray that he grow to love and know the Lord more each day, following Him all the days of his life.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
