She doesn't worry about anything. She is completely dependent, but she doesn't worry. Sure, she has needs. She just makes her needs known, and they are happily and lovingly met.
Meet my granddaughter, Senna. She is just over one month old now and is already teaching me things and reminding me of truths that never change. Like the wonderful truth in the verse, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
The last few months (actually, all of 2012) have been rather a whirlwind. Senna has helped me to stop again. Just stop and be still and appreciate. She has reminded me to simply relax and enjoy the moments.
I look forward to all the moments to come, but I am heeding the words of Jim Elliot, who said, "Wherever you are, be all there!"
May you rest in God's presence in the present! ~ Sarah
Here are some more photos, because I can't help but share my joy!
