On Friday, May 8, 2009 at 10:51 AM a special little lady arrived -- she is an 8 lb. 4 oz. and 21 inch answer to prayer. Her name is Lila Grace Morrison. She shares the same birthday as her big sister, Emma Lily Morrison. She reminds all of us of the promise of a new life -- none of us know what the future will bring and how she will bless this world. But we are all sure that she is a gift which will bring out the very best of her Mom, her Dad, her big sister and the rest of the people who already love her. It's funny, we don't really know her but we love her because of who she is and the hope of what she will become.
I expect that she will teach us all precious lessons. But for today, the fact is we love her for the joy of snuggling a newborn. Maybe that's the best lesson ever -- Lila can't do a thing for us, but her presence brings joy. Loving someone without expectations just because of who she is and who she will one day become makes us all better people.
Today I had the opportunity to catch a moment when Emma and Lila sat together in Dad's lap. Emma has no idea of how much Lila will change her life, but Emma does know that this is her baby sister. That really is enough reason to love her. When you are secure in your father's love, it's not hard to to love others.
Keep the faith
What another beautiful blessing from God!! Give my love to everyone and especially Miss Lila Grace!!! I wish we were closer so I could get share in the newborn cuddling, too!
