Come into the present
Come into this holy place
This is where I meet with you
This is where heaven meets earth
Today is the day
Step into life
Let’s get it started
Take your first breath
Step into life today
Step into freedom
Open your eyes and say
Think I’ll step into life today
This is a gift for you
The day the Lord has made
Soon you’ll be dancing
Cooing and singing
No turning back
Stepping into life today
This afternoon in the 102 degree F heat we were all sprawled out all over the apartment, worn out. It is amazing how one tiny 8 pounder can wear out so many adults. Didn’t Hilary Clinton write a book about how it takes a whole village to raise a child? We are getting that idea.
This bright evening star, Sohel, has captured our hearts with his sweetness. We spend hours anticipating his cute little expressions and moves. Those pursed lips and startled hand movements. There is nothing in the world like a newborn baby. He started out very sleepy, basically, “Can you just leave me alone it was hard work being born?” Now that his Mama’s milk is in he is realizing there are some good things about being awake.
We are grateful that the doctor caught right away his distress in the womb and was able to safely deliver him via C-section. Now his Mama is recovering well and we are happily here for a little while longer to help in these early days of his life.
