A lesson in love

Happy Birthday, Sweet Bennett!


Bennett has taught me a great love lesson.  

Before he came into my life all of my children and grandchildren  were genetically related to me.   I love them all unconditionally and fully and with all my heart.  When I knew that Bennett would be joining us, I loved him immediately, but wondered how that love would feel.  Would it be a different kind of love?  

Nope.  It is the same.  I love him the same as I love Jonathan, Lily, Daniel and Bella.  I love him unconditionally, fully, and with all my heart.  

I love all of these little people, not because they might possibly have my eye color or bone structure, but because God brought us together to love each other. 

What a blessing!

  2. Oh, me too! Our little Jonah turns one in December. Our love for him is over the top, just like the other five. Our granddaughter, Mia, is due to arrive in 3 weeks and we just found out that Jonah's mama (Chelsea)is expecting a new brother or sister for him in June. They have a heartbeat!
