April 6th? Once again it seems that I cannot get the dates right since that's tomorrow's number. Seems lately I am either looking back or looking forward. Excuse the indulgence here, but April 6th is my youngest daughter's birthday. The last post was a lament...today's is a delight. Tomorrow Ella Ruth will be born and I can hardly contain the excitement! Not our first go round here. In fact it is our 6th (there's that number again) but the anticipation is overwhelming. As her life begins I pray a different prayer than last week. I pray for Jesus to be seen in her birth as we are surrounded by family and friends that share this journey with us. She will be nurtured in hope as she fulfills a promise...she will be guided in love as she grows in grace...and she will be placed in the arms of the One Who loves her enough to give His life for her. Welcome my sweet Ella Ruth. I already love everything about you...rest in the truth that this will never change!
