God Gave Us You

Today I pulled out a book from the bottom of the book pile that I haven't read to Callan for awhile. It's called God Gave Us You by Lisa Tawn Bergren. Gene and I bought it for Callan before he was born, as his first book from us. Callan loves the book because of all the animals in it. I love the book because of the message that it portrays...especially this one page:

"Every night, I prayed for you, my special child. I prayed that your bones would be straight and your heart would be strong. But most of all, I prayed that someday you would love God."

"I love God, " Little Cub said proudly.

"I know," said Mama. "I do too."

I have that book too! I used to read it to Evan before he was born. It made me bawl my eyes out. I haven't had the guts to attempt it again while I'm actually LOOKING at my precious boy!! Awesome book!!
