Do you ever have one of those days when you wake up and you just know that something is different? Yes, the sun still rose just the same and yes, your eyes still opened like they always do…but something is different; the world seems better and brighter than it was the day before?
That happened to me this weekend. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something, unbeknownst to me, had happened that I could feel in my bones. Steve and I were driving along the 417 on Saturday afternoon and I felt like everything looked different. A miracle had happened that I was simply waiting to hear about.
Sure enough, come Monday morning, I got a phone call from my good friend to tell me that the world had indeed changed on Saturday morning when their little man finally came into the world. Safely and healthy, their son was born.
I wish that I could express the relief that I have over his arrival. It hasn’t been an easy journey for this little one and even less so for his parents. His entry into the world is the result of great faith, patience and love for a little boy that nobody had yet met. His entry into the world was God’s hand at work in the most beautiful of ways.
I can’t wait to watch him to grow up and I can’t wait to watch my dear friends grow as parents (they are going to be INCREDIBLE parents!). I think it’s a rare gift to be able to watch people you love go through this process from the very beginning and Steve and I have been very blessed to share in this with them from very early on. So I can assure that, while Marie and Craig’s world will forever be bigger, brighter and a little more sleep deprived, our world too was made so much more wonderful by their tiny little creation.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the newest addition to one of my most favourite families…
