Quiet little Bird

Quiet Little Bird
Today is Ava’s second birthday, and as I reflect I am taken back to when I was choosing a name for her. I always look at the meanings of names, because I think that they are important. I picked Ava because it meant quiet little bird, and Faith, because that is what has saved me all of my life. Well, for those of you who know my sweet girl you are fully aware that while she is pint size however, The quiet part of her name never took. Bless her heart once she got the first word out she hasn’t stopped talking. We talk and we talk and we talk. Even still she does remind me of a delicate bird. The way she flies from heart to heart bringing smiles to everyone she meets. I can only imagine the plans that God has for her. It is my greatest prayer that I can show both of my girls the beauty of God’s grace and the power of his love. I still can’t believe that two years ago today we were all awaiting the arrival of this sweet girl. Where does the time go?
Ava,
While you can’t read this now, one day you will, and I want you to know what a gift you are to this world. Your smile has brightened so many days for so many people. You have brought so much joy to us. I pray that you never doubt who you are, and that you discover God’s purpose for you with ease. I love you so very much and am so glad that I get to be your mommy.

Happy Birthday,
Mommy
