Ours

(Our Eamon, with Aunt Colleen)

My sister-in-law, Lisa, left a comment earlier in the week referring to the blog as "our blog", and Eamon as "our little man". I was so struck by the power of that little word - our.

"Our" shows possession. "Our" involves community. "Our" speaks of belonging. "Our" affirms that David and I do not walk alone. "Our" spreads responsibility. "Our" embraces. "Our" protects. "Our" is strength rising as we wait. "Our" is welcoming.


I love that so many feel the "our" of Eamon. From family to friends to strangers, Eamon is our gift, our good and perfect gift from above. And, this journey is for our benefit as we watch for His glory.
