Sometimes you just need some comfy love. When the day is dark and gloomy; when you're sick and even chicken noodle soup tastes rotten; when you stub your big toe; when your little brother won't share a favorite toy; when you're feeling blue or you can't seem to fall asleep. That's when a little bit of comfy love comes in handy.
Every child needs some comfy love in the form of a soft quilt. The kind of blanket you drag around with you everywhere you go; the kind you can't take a nap without; the kind that feels like Mommy's warm hug wrapping you in her safe arms.
That's why I made one for my friend Sarah. She's expecting a little boy any minute and she's finally decided on a name for the little guy - Henry. Though her life hasn't turned out the way she might have dreamed, it's still a life orchestrated by the kind hand of her heavenly Father who know the deepest dreams of her heart. There's a plan for this special little boy and we want to be part of it. As a family we want to promise to be there whenever Sarah and little Henry might need us because that's what families do. They love each other through the good and the bad.
I can't think of anything more wonderful than a brand new baby to love. There's just something about the way they snuggle into your arms, the way they smell like baby lotion, and they way they curl their dimpled hand around your finger. I have a feeling there will be lots to love about little Henry and I'm looking forward to seeing his sweet tiny fact for the first time. Perhaps someday I'll watch him wrap himself in the comfy love of a well worn quilt sewn by some distant Auntie.
