Louisa is 8!

Another birthday has come to the Reynolds home and this time it landed on Sweet Lou.  She is 8 now.. sniff.  The time has flown by as it always does.

Louisa, my little darling, I love you very much. You are such a beautiful little blessing to this family and to my heart. I love your freckles, your curly hair, your stunning blue eyes, and mostly your soft, tender spirit, your large heart. You are always the first one to help when someone needs it, you are tender and nurturing and have taught me a lot about how I can love and nurture more. Thank you dear.

Father in heaven, thank you for this child whom you've blessed us with. Thank you for her physical strength, for her heart strength. Her name means strength and I can recognize it in every part of her being. Thank you Lord. Please draw her near to you and may she bring You much, much glory and honor. Amen.
