I thought I loved my sweet daughter. On March 9th I fell in love with her all over again. She smiled at her mommy for the first time. I had just finished feeding her during my lunch break and was sitting with her just talking and smiling at her, when all of a sudden she made a noise that sounded like "hi" and the biggest grin appeared on her sweet little face. My mom and sister were sitting with me. We all paused, thinking it must be a mistake. At that time she was only 4 weeks old. She looked at my mom and the back at me. And there it was again, a huge smile. Every time she saw me that afternoon, she smiled and tried to "talk." My heart just melts every time I see that smile! My little baby is changing so fast and she amazes me. What amazes me above all is what made her smile. Me. Just being with me. I didn't have any toys, or movies, or pictures. Just seeing my face made her smile. It makes me tear up to think about it. If only I was this way in regards to my heavenly Father. I should be grinning from ear to ear just to be in His presence! How much more has he done for me than I have for my daughter in her short 4 weeks on this earth. I am learning so much from my baby daughter!
PSALM 34:5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
