My First Tears for You

My Beloved Son, 


While this won't be the last time that I shed a tear for you because I'm certain there will be many more. I did want you to know of the very first time that this happened.


It was Mother's Day 2012. All I could think about was you. And while there's a good chance you aren't even born yet, I know that you will go through pain in the very beginning of your life. I know that at some point you will be in need and I will be far away. I know that you will be hungry and waiting for someone to come and take care of you. But know that I will be on my way and until I arrive our Heavenly Father will be watching over you, keeping you safe. Your loneliness will only be temporary... for you will be adopted into our family just as God has adopted us into His.


You see, these tears I shed were tears of sorrow and anticipation. They were from a Mother's broken-heart who doesn't know what the future holds. I'm so looking forward to the day, where we will meet and our tears will be of joy, not sorrow. Tears of knowing that our Father's faithfulness holds true each and every day.
