Precious Tiny Blessing

I could not believe this was happening.

I kept telling myself I was to young and not ready for this adventure called motherhood.

I was terrified. 

This tiny precious life was depending on me and relying on me to provide for her. 

My husband was so excited and a proud daddy.

I was a terrified, young mother, holding her daughter for the first time.  It was then at that moment I told myself that I may be young and terrified but I knew I could love this precious tiny blessing with all my heart.  I grew up that day, ten years ago, welcoming our first child into the world. 

As each passing day goes by, I look at my tiny precious blessing and think of the many lessons she has taught me.  My tiny precious blessing.  My little girl, is truly a blessing sent from God. 

This song by Martina McBride is a favorite of not only myself but of Kaitlyn.  You could say it is our song.  So today as my daughter celebrates her 10th birthday, I will celebrate the precious life that God has sent me.  Thank you Lord Jesus for entrusting me with this precious blessing. 

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn, I love you Swiss!
