A friend and her daughter took TONS of pictures, for which I am so very thankful. I didn't document it myself, and so her pictures are now priceless to me. This one stood out to me in particular. Robin's in such a quiet phase of life right now - can't often find the right key to get into his thoughts and mind, and he seems to have a revolving set of locks. On rare occasions, usually as I'm tucking him in at night and giving him his blessing, he'll open up a bit and give me a glimpse of who he is. Sometimes I worry about it. Is he okay, what's he thinking, will God make sense to him someday? Mama questions like that.
This picture was very reassuring to me. When I ask my worried questions to Brad - will he? does he? when will he? how will he? - Brad always replies patiently and confidently, "In his own way; in his own time." This photo declares that so tangibly for this Mama's heart. Gives me encouragement to track down more of those keys and to keep them close at hand.
