A friend recently asked me what I like most about Charlotte. I didn't have a great answer off the cuff. After thinking about it for a while there are two things. First, I love the person she will somehow become. All the potential and future days that (hopefully) lay ahead of her. Second, I cherish the love I have for her even though she gives me no reason to love her. (OK, her cute smiles are starting to be a decent reason.) It's amazing to me how much you can love a baby just because he or she is yours. There's nothing else in my life that brings out that kind of selfless, reasonless love in me.

Isn't God so gracious to fill our hearts with such intense love for our children? What better way could He possibly have chosen to convince us of how much He loves us!
I really love this post ...
I think its interesting that you already love who she will become! I sometimes find myself fretting or fearful of who my boys may be someday, which thankfully brings me to my knees to pray for them and ask God to help me lead them.
