After awaking this morning and getting all ready to head to work, I checked back to our bedroom one more time and my dear wife caught my eye. Our precious Rachel was making some happy sounds from her bed and so I went to her room and talked with her for a minute before bringing her in to Sarah. Meanwhile, our big boy Caleb also awoke, having come into our bed about 7:00 pm and now rolled over to see mommy, Rachel and daddy. And for me it was just (another) one of those moments where I realized how blessed I am. God has lavished His grace and kindness on me and I'm in awe. The words of this song (I remember Keith Green singing it) probably say it best.
Beautiful (by Dennis Cleveland)
Beautiful, beautiful, Jesus is beautiful, And Jesus makes beautiful things of my life.
Carefully touching me, Causing my eyes to see, Jesus makes beautiful things of my life.

I proudly confess that I have often substituted Rachel's name into all but the last "Jesus" in the past few weeks as I sing it to our daughter. Nonetheless, I trust that when I'm beaming with pride over the family God has given me, Sarah, Caleb and Rachel that "all eyes see that Jesus really does makes beautiful things of our lives."
