One evening last week,my beloved put our wedding dvd for us to watch. It was a special moment because this was the first time we had sat down as a family i.e including Samara to watch. It was so good to hear her recognise and call out mummy and daddy as she watched. In the middle of it she got sleepy and tired but what captivated me was, three years ago on our wedding day, it was just Alex and I and today we have been blessed with a daughter. I think God is awesome and just has a way of blessing us beyond what we can think or imagine. I was no ordinary girl or so I thought. Girls dream of their wedding day and fantasy about their wedding dresses. Girls dream of having their own families. For me, I never thought I would get married, I had never pictured myself in a wedding gown, or married to a lovely man and having kids. That was just me.
So much has changed in those three years. We have had our fair portion of achievements and struggles but its been God who has got us here. To date, I have no regrets of having said I DO to my beloved. He is my companion, friend and moments shared together are treasured. A ride to work together, a cup of tea or hot lemon ginger shared, an sms, a phone call, a smile, a hug just makes our friendship special. We know that life is in everyday things we do.
Am most thankful that he is the most loving and caring dad. He is so protective of Samara and doesn't keep his eyes off her especially when she is playing with other kids. I know our daughter will grow with a lovely image of God the Father because she has a father who is approachable, loving and caring. He also disciplines with love. Over the years,many have struggled to relate with God as a father because of their bitter experiences with their fathers. Some describe them as harsh, unapproachable, mean, unkind etc and hence find it hard to relate with God . So today am grateful for my beloved, for the love, concern He has for me and our daughter. I say, may the good Lord bless and keep you. Know that we treasure you this day.
