Hope That Does Not Disappoint

"we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." (Romans 5:2-5)

Gabriel Matthew,
Yesterday, we greeted you with tears and smiles.  Our journey to you has been one of trial and hearatache and yet hope at the center of it all.  When I look at you, I see 7 lbs. of hope that does not disappoint.  You are God's gift to us--a picture of truth, strength, and hope.  We love you forever.
