I know four little boys born within about a week of each other. Each one precious in the sight of the Lord. Each one with families who love them. It keeps reminding me that yes, life goes on.
First is Ryker, born to a young man, Jarrod, whom I have known since he was about nine months old. He holds a special place in my heart. Jarrod has had a lot of ups and downs in his life, but he is now a wonderful father who is following Christ.
Next is Elijah. His daddy is also special to me because I got to know him as we went through the new members class at our church. Then he got married and is now a father of two. Elijah’s mommy, if she has her way, will be sure he grows up to be a Harry Potter fan. 🙂
Born the same day as Elijah, Henry is sorta related by marriage. Henry was born with a fairly severe birth defect and has already undergone one surgery with flying colors. I’ve known Henry’s daddy since he was a boy and he, too, has grown into a fine young man.
The last one is closest to my heart. My niece, Ella, had baby Wyatt at only 27 weeks. He weighed two pounds, 10 ounces. I love every picture I see and can’t wait to meet him.
I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
You have been My God. -Psalm 22:10
In this time of fear and uncertainty, we can be sure of one thing:
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble. – Psalm 9:9
Not In This Soup Alone

From one mother’s heart to four families we know and now four new sons.
That’s cool to have connections to 4 new little ones! And yes, it does show how life, on so many levels, goes on. What a cool blessing in your life.
