Children by Jill Phillips

I know you better than anyone

I know that look in your eyes

The one where they say you are just like me

And that comes as no surprise

Cause you’re taking in everything I do

While I second-guess all I thought I knew

Oh, I love you so much

So how great is His love

That we should be called

We should be called

We should be called His children

I want to keep you from crying

I want to save you from pain

I’d lay down my life for your life to go on

But couldn’t let you do the same

So what kind of love would give selflessly

And take such joy in giving you to me

Oh, I love you so much

So how great is His love

That we should be called We should be called

We should be called His children

I know I’m not enough for you

And you know this at your young age

Even though my love will fail you

The love that He has will not change

Oh, I love you so much

So how great is His love

That we should be called

We should be called

We should be called His children

This song is by one of my favorite singer/songwriters and expresses my feelings so eloquently! We started a couple of birthday traditions with Anna today. I made her special birthday pancakes and we told the story of her birth. What an exciting day that was 1 year ago!

***At the end of the night, Anna decided to take her first steps. She was holding keys in her hands and walking towards her Daddy. She got up to 6 steps! It is funny because I have been telling her she had a deadline of May 6th to start walking :). It made her first birthday even more memorable!***
