Discovering our Bundles of Joy

Our granddaughter Finley (8), recently blew us away with her insight. While holding her brand new little sister, Cadence Joy, for the 1st time she said,

“Awwww- look at you- you’re a bundle of joy, wrapped up in the shape of a person.”

Sarah (our daughter), her husband Keith, children Mari, Sophie, Finley, Cohen and now Cadence 🙂

And here’s the other “bundle of joy” our family just received another precious bundle- Lydia Jean– born July 10th this year.  Our son, Micah, his wife, Adrienne- sister Mataya

Welcoming children into our family pure joy.  When you’re a new parent, you focus on the miracle before you.  You don’t begrudge the late nights, the crying, the topsey turvey to your used to be normal life.  Because the JOY outweighs the inconvenience.

“When” and “why” does the wonderment of “people” cease?

Maybe our life should be spent nurturing the wonderment by treasuring each bundle. We should be surrounding them with God’s love, every step of the way, so they will grow into the fullness of joy they’re meant to be.

The miracle is still there in each person. Sure, sometimes the joy is hard to discover under the grown up crustiness some people assume.  But let’s uncover the bundle again.

In fact, let’s never quit seeing people as the beautiful bundle God made them at the beginning.

[Tweet “People are a bundle of Joy- wrapped up in the shape of a person.”]
