Even though my child is just little more than a week old,

I have to say that I'm so looking forward to all the time I'll be spending with her.

I feel like I can just stare at her all day and not get tired.

Though SMN and I wish our Olivia would sleep at night a little more,

we are so grateful and joyful.

One of the most delightful thing I'm looking for from Olivia in the future,

one of the first thing that came to my mind

when I was thinking about how we would spend time together,

is not for how she would bring back home some achievement award,

acceptance letters,

or reports cards with many As (perhaps, all..A..s?)

Rather, it is her looking at me in the eye and saying,

"Daddy, I love you."

I so long to hear that from her.

I am certain that our Father in heaven desires the same.

More than anything, it is our expression of our love inside

that He would delight in,

coming from genuine love for Him in all of life.

What would you tell Him today?
