the perfect gift

The following excerpt was taken from the devotional from mom. It encouraged me that there is eternal significance to what I am doing at home, especially all the things done in secret as Bill and I individually care for William...

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

James 1:17

"A divinely planned blend of both our personalities, [William] was at the same time a new and living soul. Scarecely aware of anything beyond himself and his needs, he came to us with an amazing capacity for love, a love which developed and matured as he was loved by other people and learned about the love of God. And most significant of all, this gift was created by God Himself, in His own image and for His own glory. Ours for today, he is God's for eternity."
