There is a peace that comes when you hold your baby in your arms. There is a sense of something larger than yourself taking hold. There is a longing to do this one thing right.
There is so much I understand about the love of our heavenly Father now that I never understood before I had kids. There are a lot of people I truly love in my life... but none of them so much I would sacrifice CJ for them. There are problems and heartache in the world that I would love to change... but none so much I would sacrifice CJ for them. How truly great is our Father's love for us that He did, willingly, knowingly, purposefully give up his Son for us. My small human mind can't begin to comprehend the depths and heights of that love...
But what I do know, is that two years ago today when I met Christian Josiah Hetzel for the first time, life changed. We are changed for the better because of him. Happy Birthday my big boy!
