It is the anniversary of the day she was born and a wonderful reason to celebrate.
She is the daughter Walker chose for us and it has been a joy to see them care for each other with such gentleness and compassion. They really like and encourage each other daily.
She fits into our family of six just right. She loves color, crafting, cats, conversations, cozy couch moments, and Walker. Gardening and cooking together fills their days with the ordinary things that are truly extraordinary. She is intentional about walking in love.
This was the scripture read at their wedding almost a year and a half ago. It is a popular passage, but for them it was perfect.
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." -1 Corinthians 13:1-8
We are grateful for her birth, her heart, and the choice she makes every day to love well. Her name is perfect. Amber stone is a naturally occurring fossilized resin. It has long been valued by many cultures and is found in a variety of rich colors. Amber loves color!
Amber, also, has been thought to have healing properties acting as an effective pain reliever for inflammatory, muscle, and chronic pains. Our Amber brought healing, too.
Happy Birthday, Amber. We love you.
Today, I am grateful for our Amber.
