Late this afternoon, I happened upon the most beautiful light in our living room. I was on my way to get something for my children, and there it was. The magnolia tree outside our window bent and swayed as the sun darted in and out of the clouds. I could tell as I watched the shadows that the leaves had freed themselves of the snow. Several hours later, I learned of a newborn named Milosh, who is, at this moment, fighting for his life. His parents are friends of a friend. I knew the light I’d seen was a sign of life and hope. And now I know who it was for. Please send him your prayers.
Music: “Promenade Sentimentale” by Vladimir Cosma.
Borrowed to be a benediction for Milosh, who, in his arrival, forevermore will reside in our hearts.

“I love you,â€
said a great mother.
“I love you for what you are
knowing so well what you are.
And I love you more yet, child,
Deeper yet than ever, child,
For what you are going to be,
Knowing so well you are going far,
Knowing your great works are ahead,
Ahead and beyond,
Yonder and far over yet.â€
