In Father's Hands

Friday Photo Flashback

This picture was taken in 1993 when our oldest daughter was a newborn. Alyssa was born prematurely and weighed only 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz. Now you would have never guessed that when you look at her :). She just turned 16 last month. Alyssa is such a beautiful blessing to our family and to the world. She blogs at Life of Faith and she is a contributor at Growing In Grace Online Magazine.

In this picture, she looks so tiny and fragile, yet so loved and protected in her Daddy's arms/hands. It made me think of how we (God's children) can rest, feel loved and secure in our Heavenly Father's hands. It's the best place to be!

    Coming over from Alicia's place. Oh my goodness, this picture is PRECIOUS. My daughter was 5'4", so I remember cuddling with one so tiny.

    Wonderful memories.

    Love,
    Beth
