From Daddy with love.

My sweet hubby sent me this list of things God has shown him through both twins. It is just too good not to post. This is the first of two posts from their sweet and amazing Daddy that one day I hope they read and realize how much we are constantly blessed with being their parents.

Thinking back over a year with the twins, The Lord has shown me a few things. First, here are a few things I have learned from Celia:

Patience – Celia is never in a hurry and is typically last for almost everything.

Contentment – Celia does not complain about her circumstances. She is happy wherever she is or whatever she is doing.

Enjoy simple things – Snuggling with Mommy or Daddy; can it get any better?

Relinquish control – Celia cannot control anything in her life. She is fed, changed, placed in her chair, placed on the floor, taken inside or outside all when someone else decides is best. She cannot even decide which toy to play with or when to eat.

Humility – It is not easy to receive from others, but it is humbling to watch as others have great joy in giving.

Joy – Joyfulness is a choice and is shown in her amazing smile!

Normal – What we think is normal can change in just a phone call or doctor visit.

Body of Christ – God will use so many people to minister to others in the body of Christ. They are quick to respond when God impresses a need on their heart.

Father’s Care – My fear and concern that Celia will have whatever she needs pales in comparison with how much God cares for us and provides for us.

Family – Life is great being with those that you love the most.

Sleep – It’s overrated!

Faithfulness – "Never once did we ever walk alone, never once did you leave us on our own. You are faithful, God You are faithful."
