Something Perfect for Someone so Imperfect

On Saturday, April 18th at 11:49 pm, I (we) were blessed to have born the newest member of the Henrichsen family. Boston Forbes Henrichsen joined us and I could not be more grateful for him.

As I have thought about him the last few days, I have been counting my blessings. We waited a long time for him to join us and I am thankful to have been entrusted to care for and provide for him for a time here on this earth.

One thought I have had several times over the last 5 days is just how perfect he seems. He is beautiful. His head, his hands, his little legs, his lips, etc. He just seems so perfect to me (I may be a little biased). I wonder why, would I be so lucky to have something so perfect sent to me, when I am so imperfect. I make so many mistakes and have so many faults and can not seem to grasp why I would be given something that is so good and pure.
