GOD IS SO GOOD

GOD IS SO GOOD!! Today, one of my dear friends, which i have know since i was eight, had a baby. What joy a baby can bring to so many lives. Friends, family and even strangers. It changes everyone around. Whether it be small or large people are affected by the birth of a baby. Mom and dad of course welcome their new little bundle of joy in this world, but today got me thinking deeper. How many people love one small child so openly, purely is an act of God. One small miracle bringing people closer together and uniting them. God works in mighty ways.

When i was eight, my family met what now i call my second family. The Howards. Back then, life was about playing games, having fun, dressing up, and just being young girls. Now, were all growing up, moving on, getting married, and having babies. Life changes like a whirlwind around you, pulling you around good and bad corners all along the way. Anyways, this family has been through so much and has been a blessing to me from the day i met them. Friends to the end, i sure hope so. Church was where we met, and god formed friendships that are lasting, I believe. We have all had our ups and downs but when you get right down to it, love. Love binds people. Friends and family. Forever.
The middle daughter, had the baby last night. Man did it bring out the good in everyone! Brought everyone close together and forever tying a happy couple. God has brought her through tough times, heart ache and pain, to laughter and tears. As i watched her with her son i was just in awe. Knowing the feeling myself and enjoying watching her experience the feeling of becoming a mom. Her face going from just pure love, to worry, to joy in a matter of seconds. Seeing the love she has immediately for her son and how it has changed her is just breath taking. I brings me to tears just thinking about it. A mothers love can never be bought or stolen. Just unique for her children. Unconditional, my favorite word to describe it. Watching her and her husband today, i mus thave thanked god a hundred times for blessing this new family and bringing us all closer. Zaiden, how truly blessed you are. A family who loves you and a mother who already has shown how much she will always do for you, her son. I am so proud of her, she is going to be a great mom.

Life comes at you no matter what. Love. Friendship, always be blessed. I certainly am. I thank my god everyday for the friendships that he has given me. Friendships that will last. Everyone loves babies, thats for sure. Today has been a blessed day for me. Joy and hope for the future, reimininsing(Iknow not spelled right but oh well) about the old days and just being free. Free and happy.

Today, visiting with the new baby and family really brought out the best in that family. Renewing ties and bringing everyone together. Love, strength and happiness all at once. In the midst, sadness being a close family member is sick, but yet hope. God brought a tiny little miracle to share with everyone. God is love, shown through a little babies touch, the mothers loving gaze, and a proud daddy beaming at his son. What a blessed day.
