Nothing Compares...

Nothing Compares to the eventful 9 days we have had...

Nothing Compares to meeting your first grandchild...Trindon Lars Ball was born March 10...a precious 7 lbs. 2 oz bundle of joy...

Nothing Compares to snuggling that sweet little baby...or counting his toes...or watching him respond to his mommy's voice or his daddy's laugh...

Nothing Compares to realizing that there really is a circle of life...that seeing your child have a child of their own completes that circle...

Nothing Compares to feeling as though you own the world when you hold new life in your arms for the first time...

Nothing Compares to knowing you are far richer for having witnessed the miracle of life...

Nothing Compares...

And yet...there is Something beyond comparison...Someone beyond comparison...

If it were not for the mercies of our Father in Heaven sending his only Son to die on our behalf...to pay the price for the debt we owe...we would never know that there really is something that Nothing Compares to...

As rich and full as I feel today for having this remarkable miracle in our life, I share in the words of this song...

I've heard all the stories
I've seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glory
Tasted all that's fine
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing you Lord...

(Thanks to my sweet husband for the inspiration for this blog post...and to Third Day for the song...)
