My heart

Oh, what a beautiful sleeper. You have my heart, little girl. 

In this busy life we're living, I have to pause and think about how blessed I am.  Your dad and I are having you baptized this Sunday - what does this mean for you and for me? 

I believe you are a miracle, God's creation.  He has known you always, long before I ever dreamt of you.  He and I love you unconditionally. 

No one can take this love away. 

Your baptism will be my promise to you and to God - to lead you and show you Christ's love.  I am not perfect and will never be, but I will pray for you, teach you, and guide you.  My deepest prayer is that you will be able to truly understand how Christ loves and to share this love with all others around you.  Love without prejudice.  

Your arrival has been the best lesson on loving like Jesus.  I pray, despite my flaws, that I can show you this love everyday - as I love you, your father, and those around us.  Love you, baby B.
