To Kevin and Rachel,

with Love from Texas.

What a glorious day when you find out there is a new addition to your family!

Yep, I will be a ‘great aunt’ again!

Yippee…..that never gets old saying!

💛❤️

So yeah, my family is big …. like in BIG. We have family scattered all over this great land of ours and yet we are always connected.

Not only is it Sunday, one of my favorite days, today we will find out if there will be a whole lot of pink or blue added to our family.

I know, I know ……

It does not matter whether this newborn will be a girl or boy,  but yeah,

If I had to choose…..

why not a little girl.

Isn’t that why god created sparkles and pink and pink and pink HA!

And then, oh my……..

A little boy …….

One who loves to fish and play football …. Heaven for sure!

💛❤️

Here are some of my favorite quotes that I remember my mom always lived by:

LOVE – Love is patient and kind: love does not envy or boast: it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way: it is not irritable or resentful: it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things: believes in all things: endures all things. Love never ends. (Corinthians 1)

STRENGTH – I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (Philippians 413)

COURAGE – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

JOY – You may know me in the path of life: in your presence there is fullness of Joy;  at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 9-1-2)

COMPASSION – Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:32)

Congratulations Kevin and Rachel!

💛❤️

A baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty.

A wee bit of heaven has drifted down from above. A handful of happiness and a heart full of love.

We can’t wait to meet those tiny little feet!

I feel the star-dust blown from the hand of God.

Bless you both.

Love from me and Riley, always always.
