Our Little Ones
(by Richard A Nelson)
With hearts aburst we brought them here...
To be loved beyond reason,
To be cared for at any cost, and
To be surrendered with open hand
to Him who gave.
From hearts adream they issued...
To honor our young home
with the mere fact
that they are here
To embody the wordless awesomeness
of the divine mystery
of life's increase, and
To endow us with a happy, human,
internal orchestral rhapsody
that heretofore simply could not exist.
Through hearts inflamed we yearn for them...
To mature in a home of God's imparting,
To seek out God because of human example, & To produce in others more than they
found in us.

(an excerpt from the book "Family,"
by Richard A Nelson)
Year upon year with her in our home has been sheer multiples of delight. She has extracted hope and stability from wihtin us when it seemed they couldn't exist; her happy presence dismisses the oft mental torments of life as though they were but autumnal leaves adrift in the breeze. She has tilled those parts in us that seemed frozen forever, and her harvest of life will surely be most fruitful.
Our deepest groanings in prayer on her behalf are but a second travail that she may become metabolized with the ingredients of the living Word, a mature specimen of normalcy known only by those blissful and blessed few who choose, and who are chosen, to partake of a Spirit-soaked, Christ-saturated sojourn, as they tread the straightened paths of God's economy.
