Birth-day

Today is a special day. February 2nd, 2007, will forever be marked in our family as our little Jed's birthday. But to me, it will always be far more than that. I always think of February 2nd as MY birth-day - the day I became a mother. That morning I felt a new birth, into a new life of motherhood and service to my children. The birth of a new family. Where there had only been a couple before, now there was a full circle of father/mother/child. A home, where before there had been but a house with two people inside. With the arrival of that small, wise-eyed, sober and sweet little boy, our home, our marriage, our lives became holy and consecrated.

Thank you, sweet little Jed, for making our lives holy!
