Dear all
My favorite 2 shots from the week…

Thank you so much for your prayers for Adam. It has been an exhausting few days…not gonna lie..but each day’s tapestry has been threaded with sustaining grace. Adam has been up a lot itching, rubbing his head against the bed frame (until we get to him). But he has been on some good steroid creme, vaseline, coconut oil, and benadryl treatment around the clock…and is doing better;)

Continued prayers welcomed.

ALSO…I just cannot believe a third of a year of Elliot’s life has passed us! Truly Truly…how does that happen?

Just a vapor it is.
So I choose to live and cherish and praise Him for each moment we have.
Elliot Justice Paulraj passed 4 month mark last week.
So I thought I would share some pictures from his life thus far;)
He is such a joy, my friends.
SUCH A JOY.
Elliot, thank you for who you are.
Abba Father…thank you for knowing what your children need and for bringing this ray of sunshine into our lives.

We are learning more and more each day about love.
Painful love
Joyful love
Redeeming love
Funny love
His love

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”- clive staples lewis

I am aware that having little ones…to love this is vulnerable. It is scary at times.
How good that we have an Everlasting Father to sustain us and fill us with His love
For mine would have surely run dry by now.
Thankful for His fruits of the Spirit and His Word and His presence each step of this parenting way

life with my boys keeps reminding me of this quote..

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” jack kerouac

“the Lord has done GREAT things for us and we are FILLED WITH JOY” psalm of david
LOVE TO YOU ALL
