Blessing of the New Year

This is my first New Year with our dear baby. She is so precious and in seeing my past writing I remember even more so what a blessing she is. She is sitting with her father playing in my parents living room as I write. I am taken up with her so much I can usually hardly write or take on activities to my own pleasure; but that in itself I see with happiness. That is the hardest thing to explain to those without children, but something I understand fully now.

I was trying to remember where Jesus warned of a time where women would no longer want children as a horrible thing. I fully understand that now. There is no greater joy than being a mother. I was told that would be a joy I would never enjoy without help of a doctor or through other means. That had changed with faith, prayer and exercise.

Now we are trying to get our little one to crawl or walk. It is a wonderful way to spend the last day of the year; with your family.
