As I watch you grow every single day my heart is so very full of love for you. I love the scripture in Ephesians 3 that gives us a picture of Christ’s love for us- and I will borrow it now as I say to you–may you both be able to comprehend, to always feel and truly understand how long, how wide, how deep, and high my love for you is-from the very beginning through each pregnancy the love began and built moment by moment and day by day. I wish I could just infuse the wisdom I have gained in my 41 years so you don’t make the same mistakes I have made. I know though, that through those mistakes, I have become your mother. Mistakes and failures are a part of life we all face. But know that each time a trial or difficulty arises I will be there with encouragement, support, and love. Life is becoming increasingly difficult in this world but I know that because each of you has accepted Christ as your Savior you are safe in His care. He will guide you if you let Him. My greatest prayer for each of you is that you let Him. Only the path He has chosen for you will give you ultimate joy and peace that this world and its things will never offer you. If you need advice, guidance for decisions, or comfort His Word is there for you. It, I pray, will be the handbook of your lives-utilize it- I beg of you both. In it, I assure you, you will find the key to your happiness, wealth, and most importantly the love of the Father who created you. I know that the moment He thought you into existence He smiled knowing the joy you each would bring. I know He specially knit you individually together in my womb-some from daddy, some from mommy, some from Him- your body, soul, and spirit came together in His sight, timing, and masterful way, according to His plan for your life. As you grow even now I can see how He is molding you both into the vessels He wants you to be. How He anticipates you pouring Him out on those around you. As this life partakes of you He will continue to fill you up so you can freely give and extend His love to those who need it. I pray He places you both in situations where the fullness of Christ within you spills out on every person, in every situation He places you in. Light is a brilliant thing- it shines the brightest in the darkest of times, the darkest of places. It has a way of creeping into every nook and cranny of space it can reach. You have both been an encompassing, incandescent light in my life. The light you have brought me warms my soul and infuses me with such joy and love. Christ is the source of our light. He shines so brightly on us, through us, for us. The warmth of His embrace will always be much greater than the warmth of my embrace. But He has given you me-your physical mother here on earth to be His embrace for you to feel until you return to Him. May I always glorify Him in loving you the way He has shown me so graciously.

With all my love forever and always,
Your momma
