Made for another world

"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in the world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C. S. Lewis

Happy Birthday Max!

How have five years sped by since that glorious day when we welcomed Max into our family?! He was just a bundle of precious potential, now he's a bundle of energy! Today is his 5th birthday and I'm astounded at the amount of living, learning and loving that has gone into the last 5 years, both on Max's part and mine. It's amazing how when I think of that day it's as fresh as if it had happened yesterday. I suppose it's such a powerful experience, ushering in new life, that it makes a deep imprint on our minds and hearts. This next year holds new challenges and experiences for Max and us as a family. My prayer is that we will meet those with joy and an open heart. Today I celebrate Max and the wonderful person God created him to be!
