Our Valentine Gift That Continues To Bless Us

It was four years ago tonight that we received the news about a Valentine's gift that would be the greatest we could ever imagine.  It was Wednesday and we came home from church to open our Valentine gifts.  As I sat in the chair after a long day, Laura walked over and gave me a card.  I opened it and read it. After reading it, I noticed that it was signed "from baby Fuller # 4!"  I was shocked, speechless, and simply did not know how to react.  I was so shocked, I fell over in the floor and just started laughing.  At that point, Laura laid on the floor with me and we just held each other as the emotions began to flow.  We were so shocked because we had a 3 year old, 2 year old, and 7 month old at the time.  We were excited but did not know how we would be able to function and survive with 4 kids in 4 years.  As the pregnancy went forward, we became more and more excited as we anticipated the birth of our 4th born.

When our baby arrived, we were blessed to have a boy and we named him Paul Benjamin Fuller.  Now, as I think back over the past 4 years, I can say that Paul is our little blessing.  He brings joy to our family that is indescribable to us. 

As the baby of our family and as the baby grandchild of both sets of his grandparents, Paul is our Valentine each and every year.

IN HEAVEN'S EYES

A few weeks ago one of our soloist at Southside sang a song that really touched my heart.  I asked them for the words and thought I would share them with you.

A fervent prayer rose up to Heaven.
A fragile soul was losing ground.
Sorting through the earthly babble, Heaven heard the sound.
This was a life of no distinction, no successes, only tries.
Yet gazing down on this unlovely one, there was love, in Heaven's eyes.

In Heaven's eyes, there are no losers; In Heaven's eyes, no hopeless cause.
Only people like you with feelings like me, amazed by the grace we can find in Heaven's eyes.

The orphan child, the wayward father, the homeless traveler in the rain.
When life goes by and no one bothers, Heaven feels the pain.
Looking down God sees each heartache, knows each sorrow, hears each cry.
And looking up, we'll see compassion's fire ablaze in Heaven's eyes.

In Heaven's eyes there are no losers; In Heaven's eyes, no hopeless cause.
Only people like you with feelings like me, amazed by the grace we can find.
In Heaven's eyes.


WOW! What powerful and amazing words!

Our kids are such a blessing to our lives.  Tonight, Laura and I were looking at pictures of each of them when they were born and we are amazed at how much each of them have grown.  They are our true blessings from the Lord.  I know and pray that God will do mighty and awesome things in their lives.  We have dedicated our kids to the Lord and trust Him with their lives.  "Lord, please use our children for your honor and glory."
