These photos were taken at Elaina’s first birthday party. They have always touched my heart. Initially, I thought it was simply because she is such a beautiful child. As I placed the photos on the page today ... I was struck by the fact that Ryland’s hands and arms are in nearly every shot. He’s right there, braced and ready to catch her if she falls. She is too young to realize that a protector is right there at her side, ready and waiting to make sure she doesn’t get hurt. Of course, I was thinking ahead about the title for this layout ... and, the one that began to take hold was “Blessed With A Loving Father”. My heart was suddenly gripped with the knowledge that we are all blessed with a loving Heavenly Father. He is always there, even when we fail to notice or acknowledge it. He calls us all to be examples of His love ... in this I often fail. On Elaina’s first birthday, her father was a wonderful example. I am always amazed at how God uses us as His “hands and feet” to teach others about His love for them. In these photos, an example of His love for us is captured in the watchfulness of a father over his child.
