Can it be that these are our children?
Can it be that we have two precious babes on this Earth?
Two foreheads to kiss, two heads to keep warm, two tummies to feed?
Two precious babes entrusted to us in their youth,
Two children to grow up in our home,
Two children to pray for
that they would grow in "wisdom and stature and
and in favor with God and man"?
Can it be that they're ours - that they're actually here and real and ours?
And yet, they belong to their Father.
Can it be that He entrusted them to us?
What a humbling thought!
Lord, give us grace as we raise these children to know and love you.
Give us wisdom as we train them to love each other and others.
Give us faith to trust you and your sovereign plan for each of their precious lives.
Can it be that these beautiful babes are our children?

Oh, Raechel; what an awesome post. Thanks for the reminder to treasure our children.
Much love to you and yours! :)
They are just too precious for words! I don't know how you manage to come up with something new everyday! Some of my favorite pics are from my son meeting his new sister! I still get teary just thinking about it! They are 5 years apart and he was thrilled when she arrived! Now I gotta go find a tissue...Blessings to you all!
It's been such a long, hard road, Raechel, but just look at where you are! Oliver and Hazel look so much alike; they both have your eyes.
My brother is one of my favorite people on earth. He is my friend and my ally and my *brother* in every way. I hope Oliver and Hazel are blessed with such a friendship as well.
Congratulations.
