I had the joy and privilege of being present at Hayden’s entry into our world on Tuesday. His mommy serves with me on our dance ministry team at 12 Stone Church. I was so honored to be there. He is perfect in every way, with dark dreamy hair and the color of pink skin that only new life can hold. He entered the world alert, but quiet, just taking it all in. His beautiful family surrounded him awaiting his arrival, with his daddy hardly able to contain his joy. He couldn’t stop smiling. He liked the way “my son” sounded when he said it, and I did too. He also had Aunts and Uncles there crowding around to greet him with kisses and the type of joy that comes only after much waiting and patience. His mother is beautiful and wise beyond her years, and she couldn’t stop looking at her happiness bundled in her arms.  He is a blessed and lucky boy.

This is what I get to do with my life. Sigh.
