This morning's meditation was- Why did God make you and all things? {catechism}

We decided, this morning that God must be glorified with love and loving relationships. You were certainly not an afterthought to Him. We are amazed at how our hearts are warmed and delighted with you and your sweetness.
We went back to the day 8 years ago and 2 funerals that led up to your arrival on the scene of our lives. Uncle Mose passed and then Grandpa Bob and it was just after Grandpa Bob's funeral that I went into labor: a month earlier than expected and completely exhausted from grieving. What a delight to know that God had it all planned. What a comfort to know that God is writing the story of our lives and includes surprises in His mercies. You were a surprise party from God and it was interesting to think that you wanted to see yourself come into the room that day 8 years ago to a waiting audience of a family and smile at the comfort of the familiar sounds and senses. "I want to see myself coming into that room; a little 5 lb. baby." You said. Of course, you can't remember, that is why we tell you the story so often.
