Today I have had time to reflect on the events of yesterday and how blessed I feel I am. My daughter and son-in-law requested that I be the extra person attending the labor and delivery of my first Grandson. I am reflecting what I gained yesterday....
Besides a beautiful gift from God, Alexander Elias Ruiz, I also was able to be blessed in other ways....
- I was able to feel like I was an integral part of delivering God's gift.
- I was able to see the gift of true love and dedication that my daughter and her husband have for each other.
- I was able to experience the true love that the children have for me.
- I am able to realize that aging is a wonderful gift from God as I am given more blessings along the way.
God was with us in that labor and delivery room and his presence was felt. When I was handed the baby for the first time...maybe 10 minutes after he was born, God led my hands as I didn't plan it, but I made the sign of the cross on his forehead and blessed Alex in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
What more can I ask for in life..........................
