If
you are a parent, think back to when your son or daughter was an infant. When I do this, thoughts of cuddling, rocking,
singing, and snuggling fill my mind with special memories. I spent hours watching
my babies sleep and gazing into their wonder filled eyes as they learned about the
world. Every child deserves this love. Unfortunately, the world is not a
perfect place. Some babies don’t have the privilege of being held and rocked
for hours. One of the best parts of what
we do is getting to step in and share this unconditional love with precious
babies. Each week we spend hours holding babies, loving them with the love of
Christ, singing to them, and engaging them. We cheer them on to learn new
things and most importantly, we tell them over and over again how special they
are. We tell them how much God loves them and that He has a great purpose for
their life. This week I would like to introduce you to Baby G. Molly and I have
the absolute honor of working with him every week. We have learned what he likes, what makes him
smile and giggle, and what he doesn’t like. We delight when we see him learn
something new, like raise his head to look around. We know just what songs to
sing him when he is sad and just what sensory toys will bring a smile to his
face. He likes feeling sand on his cute little bare feet, he likes the sound of
water splashing in a water mat, and he loves to be cuddled and hugged and loved
on! As I rock him in my arms, I whisper to him, “God loves you so much and so
do I. You are a precious child of the Heavenly Father and He has great plans
for your life!”
