I know it's not Fingerprint Friday. And I know this post is a "Repeat"....but it's a post that can't be written too many times. Sorry if I am boring some of my blog readers. I know all the mothers out there will understand that there are some things in your heart that you can't "repeat" too many times. It was first posted February 2009. C.
There's a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called "Fingerprints", that goes:
"I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God."
From the first moment you feel a little life growing inside you, you love him. Deeply. You raise him as best you can. You nurture him physically. You teach him the necessary tools he will need to travel life's paths. You give him a strong foundation of values. And hopefully, you place him on the right spiritual path. And then.....you give him wings to fly on his own....much like a mother bird gently, encouragingly, pushing her little ones out of the nest. And then.....you pray that what you did was enough.
Tom.....I couldn't be more proud of you. You have been our rock these past few weeks. Always there. Steadfast. Through the tears. The fears. You reversed the role of child/parent so fearlessly. With great strength. I love you for that. You are the perfect example of the Fingerprints of God in action.
I thank God each day of my life for making me your Mom. I am so very blessed.

Your love for Tom bounces off the page and fills my heart! Ahhhh, to be a mom (of boys) - fulfilling, scary, challenging, rewarding and wonderful... and I wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China (and I know you wouldn't either)
Thank you for that, Marci. It certainly is everything you said....and you're right: I wouldn't trade it for anything. xoxoxox
