A friend of mine had her baby yesterday, so Henry and I set off this morning to visit her and her newest bundle of joy. We arrived at the hospital and met Daddy, and then the three of us headed to the maternity wing and visited for a bit. I had packed Henry and myself a lunch, expecting to maybe eat with Daddy after our visit. To our surprise, Daddy's boss offered for us to take our lunch "to go" so we headed to the city park and found a beautiful, quiet spot to enjoy our lunch on what is certainly one of the last pleasant days of spring in Texas this year. It's approaching the end of May, so 100 degree days are in our near future.
I hadn't planned for an outdoor lunch, but I just so happened to have a large blanket in the back of my car, so we spread out beneath a tree and shared a yummy lunch as a family. It is one of those blessings that demands my immediate gratitude to God for allowing me to be a stay at home mom, able to stop everything I'm doing to spend time with my family. These moments, especially now when Henry is our only child and still so young, won't last long. I cherish them and praise the Lord for blessing me far beyond my worth.
