On January 30, a 7lb 13oz; 20 inches long little boy entered our lives. He already made his distinction from his sister by taking a long 28 hours of labor to make his appearance. So far, like his sister, he has been a content and happy baby. We are loving being his parents. Charis can't get enough of him.
A couple nights ago as I held him and stared in his sweet face, I was overcome with tears. What a precious gift from God! I know I will probably bore people the rest of my life talking about how I didn't think I would ever have children, but I still find it unbelievable that I was blessed with Charis. So to be holding Gabriel, it is overwhelming. TO GOD be the Glory!
Our prayer for him is that he will follow the Lord all the days of his life. That he will be a like Gabriel the angel and be a messenger for God and proclaim Jesus as savior. Joshua made a picture book of Gabriel's first days and put this verse as our prayer for him: Psalm 22:10 "On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God."
