I spent some time over Easter weekend thinking about these blue eyes and the thought processes behind them.
There are many things I hope to teach my children. Good manners, good grammar, and good choices come to mind quickly. I hope they learn to love and love to learn. I hope they find the thing that makes them smile, cling to joy, and become who they are fully. I hope they have a sense of humor and sense of home. And love to read, adore U2, and cook like the children of the south should.
But all the things I want them to know fade against this greater truth:
Christ is Risen!
The world is broken, we are broken, Christ was broken to break sin, and Glory:
Death is Broken!
Christ is Risen!
Ava and Graham if you know nothing else from your mother, know this: Christ is Risen! Therefore always, always have hope.
I love you blue-eyed babies.
