Oh how we have our timing
&
GOD has HIS.
As
IVY LOU JONES
was born yesterday,
even though her parent's thought she was coming in another month.
GOD'S
amazing plans are so beyond perfect
always
& yes
especially in these moments of great joy
A commercial break from the sadness of life.
Life stopped
as we waited with other families
who were also waiting
for their new arrival to enter into this world.
Waiting joyfully
for the arrival of a new being.
And then we saw his face,
as my son walked into the room and said
"IT'S A GIRL!"
My baby boy having a baby.
A moment that will be etched on my heart forever.
This once in a lifetime occurrence
in this moment of time
that
GOD
etched out
the moment
HE
created
IVY.
And
the moment
GOD
created you.
The moment
when we were all once
a precious baby
in a moment in time
that is etched on
GOD'S
heart forever
because we are part of
GOD'S
plan.
Such joy filled our hearts
as we were all joined together as a family
&
with other families,
whom we met for the first time,
yet were so connected
because we were all sharing in the same
great moment~
the birth of a new baby in our lives.
My son and his precious wife~
their lives changed forever
as they met their little girl for the very first time.
If only we could stop the clock
in these moments
when there is nothing but pure joy.
But what if
JOY
is always here
whether we
feel it or see it in every moment.
Just what if?
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" ( Romans 5:13)
Welcome to the World
IVY LOU JONES
