Once a child is born, it is difficult to imagine how the universe could have existed without them. A person, who once was not, appears in all of his or her radiant uniqueness. We have before us something ineradicable.
There is something about the human person that proclaims, loudly: FOREVER!
Josefina is six years old today. Each of our children has changed our lives simply by being themselves. What words can I use to describe it?
Gratitude. Amazement. Craziness!
They are the daily reminder in our lives that God exists, and that we have been invested with an awesome responsibility. We are called to love each of these persons in a way that somehow helps them to discover and experience the particular love that God has for them.
We a preparing our children to discover and respond to their vocations--to the plan that God has for each of them--and then to continue to support them with an abiding love.
I hope and pray that I will live long enough to be everything God wants me to be for these kids.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOJO! We love you!!!
