I have no greater joy...

I'm sure that most mom's can relate with what I'm about to share....I want to write this down so that I remember this..sometimes when I look at Madeline I have these overwhelming revelations about love. I get so choked up even writing about it because it's such an emotional undertow... Never in my lifetime have I been so needed and loved as I am when my little girl looks up at me. She looks up at me with eyes that tell me I am it. Greg and I have been charged with the awesomest responsibility of raising this little one, and at times when I hold her...I am, again, overwhelmed with it all. I was listening to a worship song on my computer the other day, and it's one of my favorites. I started dancing with Madeline and the words just completely saturated me. All of a sudden I was singing the words to her. I wanted her so badly to understand that My Savior can move mountains...and He is might to save...and someday...He will become the Saving Grace in my little Madelines life. That is the cry of my heart...and sometimes I feel that so deeply that there is a physical ache deep in my soul... If I have one wish for you, my little girl...it's that you would know Jesus Christ as your best friend, your teacher, and your Lord. If I had one prayer for you, it would be that you would make Him known. And to that end I will pray for the rest of my days...
