I got to meet . . .

Abigail Marie today!  What a beautiful baby!  Mommy Meggers was catching some shut-eye while we were there, and Proud Daddy Chris brought Abigail out after just having changed her diaper, and as I went to take her from his arms, Lisa rudely stepped in front of me to hold her first.  But, she did eventually let me hold Abigail, so I guess I'll forgive her. :) 

Heavenly Father, receive our heartfelt thanks for this child, Abigail, a gift of Your grace and love for us in Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.  Send Your holy angels to shield her from all dangers of body and soul.  Preserve her according to Your good pleasure until that day when she is brought to the waters of Holy Baptism to receive the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.
