Today was a good day, in large part because of a visit that came about so late last night that it really qualifies as early this morning.
Eneida brought little Abby by the house, as mom and I have been anticipating seeing the baby. Abby is a sweet little baby with a head full of soft, spiky black hair who doesn't look only seven weeks old. She definitely looks like her daddy Rudy. I've held babies before, but for the first time, I've held a baby who was so still and quiet that she fell asleep in my arms.
It made me think about being a parent someday. I don't know if I ever will, but I find myself thining about these things. I don't know if I'll be dating someone this time next year, or if I'll be engaged to some woman. I pray that God will prepare me for these things, if He wills for me to be a husband and father.
I needed the reminder of God's goodness to us. What I finally realized is that where I've been struggling is in accepting those reminders of His goodness with thankfulness and humility. I pray that God will continue to work on my heart, in cultivating true gratitude and humility in me.
