My two favorite people

These pics from Father's Day weekend bring such joy to my heart for a myriad of reasons. These are a few things I see when I look at these pics:

1. These are my two favorite people in the whole world.
2. My husband is a father and gets to celebrate Father's Day after many years of waiting and hoping.
3. My husband is an amazing daddy who loves this little girl with everything in him.
4. My husband is a godly father who protects and shepherds his daughter's heart and who is passing on the blessing of a godly heritage to her.
5. I am a mother!!
6. We have a daughter!!!
7. Our daughter is beautiful and a blessing to everyone she meets. She is full of joy and life.
8. Our daughter knows she is loved by her Mommy & Daddy, her family and friends and most importantly by Jesus.
9. When I look at these pics and see my two favorite people, I can't help but be reminded of the sovereignty of God and his kindness toward us. I'm reminded that His plan for our life is not "plan B", and that He writes the most beautiful stories.
10. My two favorite people were adopted. Adoption is a part of their story and now a part of mine and as I like to say, "a banner over our life." I'm reminded that God is the author of life and I love how He has crafted our family. So very thankful.
