NICHOLAS' FOOTPRINTS
WHERE WILL THESE LITTLE FOOTPRINTS LEAD US TODAY?

All I want for Christmas is.....
All I want for Christmas is...everything I see!
We try to be reserved in giving gifts to Nicholas because we want him to be grateful and appreciate the things that he has. He very rarely gets a gift when it isn't Christmas or his birthday. However, he has discovered that he likes "shopping" in toy catalogs and he wants everything he sees. Granted, he really could use some new toys that are more appropriate for his age but I think he is going a little overboard with the wish list!

NICHOLAS FOOTPRINTS
Nicholas footprints. Sweet little Nicholas footprints. Footprints in the sand, footprints in the mud, wet footprints on the floor after a bath, even footprints through some paint. But these sweet little footprints won’t be little forever. They are getting bigger each day as are the little feet that make the sweet footprints. The little feet are 3 years old now. I cherish the little feet and I love to hold them and kiss them. They are still soft to the touch yet strong when there is a ball that needs kicking, sturdy when there is something that should be climbed, and fast when the urge to run strikes. The little feet run to me when something isn’t right and my heart just melts with love. Yet the little feet also venture farther away from me with a little bit more curiosity and confidence that each new day brings. They find new experiences and exciting adventures every day. As the little feet continue to grow they will take Nicholas farther away from us and eventually to life on his own. I pray that Stuart and I set a good example for Nicholas’ feet to follow, that he finds a path to Christ and follows His guiding light, that he is kept safe from harm, and that his days are filled with joy and love and a true passion for life. Join us in this online journal to see where these little footprints went today.
“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
