Joy in Small Places

Daniel,

A few nights ago we went to Dairy Queen for a treat, a treat that you had all of two bites of before you were off running around the ice cream shop checking out everything in the freezers, the other patrons enjoying their own family time, and playing with another boy at the little play table that looked oddly out of place by the front door.

A few minutes into your play, an older man seated near us asked if you were always this joyful. Your daddy and I looked at each other, smiled, and responded confidently, "yes. As a matter of fact, he is."

You truly are a boy who finds joy in all circumstances, with all company. What a blessing. I pray that you will always find joy in this world, in the God who created it and the love He has for you.

Love you, buddy!

Confession: the trip to DQ was really for mommy and the little baby growing inside her belly!
