Birthday

Posted on | November 17, 2011 | 1 Comment

Tonight I find my mind on my close friend, miss Emily, who is delivering her twins a few weeks earlier than expected sometime this morning.  I'm wishing her a joyous delivery, and her babies a beautiful welcome into this world.  They have two amazing parents, and are both so loved!


If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.  -Vincent van Gogh
