Day Eighteen Hundred and Six

The Face of Joy

Pure joy.

Every night, this is her favorite way to prepare for bed.

And it just lights up my face! Theirs too!

I love how much they love each other - it's maybe my greatest Earthly treasure. Seeing the care and protection Adam lavishes over Amelia and the joy he brings to her days is a constant reminder of the kind of Love that covers me through my own Father. God is far better to us than I could ever know and his Love is incomparable to the deepest love I could ever experience. To think of a love like that chokes me up and leaves me speechless because what I see and know between Amelia and her Daddy is something I cherish so close to my heart...and it's not even a minuscule amount in comparison to Jesus's love for us.

I am so thankful that of all the men in the world, Adam is the one raising and loving on my little tiny girl. He loves her wildly and leads her with compassion, grace, justice, and kindness. I couldn't try to ask for anything more, other than that one day, Amelia will realize that though her Dada loves her more than any man ever has, her Father in Heaven loves her infinitely more and with an unmatched enthusiasm. Thank you Jesus!
