This past Sunday was a remarkable day - a day for celebrating the gift of life. The older I get the more I am deeply touched by the birth of each new child. On this January 6th I turned one year older, my grandson Caleb would have turned eight-years-old if he was still alive, and Daniel was given a name and a blessing by his father Jordan.
As I watched all the men in our family gently encircle this tiny child I thought about the eternal circle of life. Part of that circle is death.
The combination of our family celebrations all in one day created a generational pureness of heart . . . white balloons released at Caleb's grave to celebrate his brief life . . . white suit for the newest member of our family . . . and white snow signifying the season we give honor to the one who gave us the hope of Eternal Life.
