You know, when you're a mom, you're not the same carefree, free-spirited woman you once could be as a wife, or as a single woman. Life takes on a 180 degree turn and everything changes, literally EVERYTHING. Gone are the days when I could go Christmas shopping at the drop of a hat, or when I could go on a date with Aby without having to worry about where to leave my baby, or when I could sit and eat my lunch with no interruptions. Ah well, you get the picture I guess.
The single thought that hit me, was, "Will I be able to live my life like this forever??" Well, its amazing that even though being a parent is more and more responsibility as the days go by... Its still such an amazing privilege! Each day, when I am tired and don't think I can stay up another hour, I see my little one cooing and smiling at me, that lights up my life! It really does. When I see him doze off in my arms, I think maybe he feels, 'my mommy's arms are the safest place on Earth'; or maybe he just loves the warmth of a hug.. At the end of the day, parents are everything to a little helpless baby, and I'm grateful to God for trusting Aby and I to be given this precious baby to take care of, and bring up, and love and cherish.
We're dedicating him this Sunday, i.e. 15th December 2013. Its the day we vow before God, that we will love this him, and bring him up to love Jesus. The day we publicly declare, that he belongs to God first, and then to us. The day we pray and ask God to protect him from all evil and commit his life to Him.
I love you, lil Zachy Packy! :)
