This is the eve of Luke's 6th birthday. I can remember being so nervous six years ago as I was about to deliver Luke by scheduled C-section. I had to be at the hospital by 5a.m. so they could get everything ready for surgery. I was most nervous about the epidural of all things. That went amazingly well! In fact, after Luke was born, I thought to myself, I could do that 6 more times. I may be a little biased, but he was absolutely THE MOST beautiful baby boy I had ever seen. He was so tiny and perfect. We called him our peanut. Those first few months were so precious as a family of 3. Todd was working for himself and was home all the time. I recovered from my c-section and he took care of both of us. I remember holding him in the middle of the night one night and thinking, this is going to go by so fast. I prayed over him that night.
I love Luke so much. He's so tender-hearted, sweet, loving, interesting, funny and wise little boy. He has a heart of gold, and really cares about the feelings of others. I pray that he will always walk with the Lord, that he is wise beyond his years, and that he is full of God's love to share with others. I pray that he is taught of the Lord and great is his peace and undisturbed composure. I trust that God has a purpose and a plan for him that he will know at an early age and pursue with all of his efforts. I pray that he will always be quick to forgive, slow to be angry and wise with his words toward others. He is my special boy, and I love him so much. I am so grateful that God chose Todd and I to be his parents!
