the greatest gift is Love

at the young age of 20 months old, Emma is completely unaware of all of the ways that her life is blessed. she has no concept of the difficulty and hardship that are so prevalent in the world. she is in fact sheltered from adversity by default, as a member of our family. we have received much to be thankful for in this life. we have a roof over our heads, more than enough food on our table, a warm place to sleep. but more than all of these, we have Love – the love of the Savior, Jesus Christ – and love for one another. for Emma, this love comes in the form of older siblings that adore her and parents that cannot imagine life without our littlest angel. so Emma is doted on and spoiled beyond measure, all in the name of Love. with heavenly guidance, she will grow up to be kind and loving in return. and each day, I will thank the good Lord above for allowing us the greatest blessing – a family full of Love.
