I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10b
 
This little miss was born into my hands at 3:01 pm on December 12...
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Jo, this beautiful mama, was a pure delight to watch interact with her baby... so many mothers here seem less than joyful at the time their babies are born, but not Jo. She cooed and cuddled her baby. Snuggled and sang. She laughed and laughed as she tried to soothe and comfort  her very emotional baby girl in the first hour after her birth. The little cutie-pie just couldn't get a handle on her emotions! 

But the joyful patience and peace of her mother prevailed and not another peep was heard throughout the clinic.

I look forward to six more weeks of interaction with these two -- seeking God and all that He has in store for this precious new relationship!
What an extreme honor I've been given... 

and I embrace it fully.
