Jackson's Double Chin

Jackson my newest grandson is 17 days old today. He is a peaceful, happy baby who is already much adored by his parents. Yesterday was his first day of church and he remained peaceful throughout the service. His Mommy, my beautiful daughter-in-law, Sarah Burns, is a very relaxed first time mother. She is calm with him and he already looks into her eyes with that look of knowing love that only a newborn can give his Mommy. He is getting a double chin. As adults we don't often celebrate double chins, but in sweet smelling babies, we love to see the folds of health emerge on the baby's body. He will be fair haired and it is too soon to tell what color is eyes will turn. As his grandmother, I know this to be true, he will always be treasured and adored by his family. He is one of God's greates miracles and while he may not serve as Gideon did in the Old Testament, he will know Jesus. That is my heart's desire and Jesus says, "Lest we come as little chilfren. We will not inherit the kingdom of God."
