Wordfull Wednesday: New Beginnings





There's nothing more joyful than holding your brand new baby after bringing them into this world. This particular picture shows me right after giving birth to Jennabee, my first girl after four boys, which was a new beginning for me. I pray I will remember the joy I felt the night of her birth after she becomes a teenager in ten years, when we will no doubt encounter a completely different kind of new beginning!

Each child brings a wonderful new beginning, don't they? She looks like she was a very fat healthy newborn! ☺

It scares me a little that seeing the picture of you with Jennabe made me tear up a little. Maybe I'm more ready for kids than I want to belive....

Ali I feel the same way you do. I hope I remember how much I really do love my kids once they are teenagers. My Mother in law has a magnet that says "Grandchildren are the reward for not strangling your teenagers." Boy isn't that the truth. I have to honestly say that I am already a little nervous about my kids being teenagers, If they are anything like I was heaven help us all I don't knwo how I won't strangle them!
