My daughter-in-law, Amanda, and her hubby, our first born son, Joshua, are ready to greet a new child into the world! This soon to be delivered child will be the first born girl in our personal lineage and is scheduled to be delivered on March 17th (scheduled… times have change, goodness, knowing the sex of the baby seems to be the norm now, which is so very different than just 20 years ago…). Yes, if the princess can wait, she will be celebrating her birth-day with lucky four-leafed clovers and green! She will surely lead a charmed life!
McKenzie Grace will make her grand entrance on March 17th, if not before, as she seems a bit impatient right now (I can already tell she takes after her Grammy, and that’s actually a good thing at times). During the wait, much planning and busyness is occurring in preparation for this first girl-birth, and on Sunday, March 3rd, our side of her family will be holding a baby shower to honor McKenzie’s upcoming birth and the loving fortitude and strength with which her mama, Amanda, has co-created and gestated her during the last nine months.
The shower will be a small gathering of women family member and a couple of close friends (who are family by choice), at the home of my very gracious mom, and Amanda is looking forward to spending the afternoon surrounded by people who love and care for her, relaxing (which will be a rare occurrence after McKenzie comes), chatting, opening precious baby gifts, and eating delicious cake made by my very own cake-making-artist sister, Lesa.
Showers mean so much more than crepe paper, funny shower games, shower gifts and punch and cake (although those are all really great things). Showers are about being showered with love and sprinkled with care, and definitely make a Live-Again-Day! We should have showers all the time! Who says there must be an impending wedding or birth? Showers are about family, friendship, caring and loving, and honestly, we all need a shower from to time or we tend to get funky! Showers keep us fresh, invigorated and fortified to go about the business of the world with bright eyes, hopeful hearts and joyous souls!
Do you know someone who is feeling funky and needs a little rejuvenation? Do they need a shower? Grab a cupcake or a donut with sprinkles and cream, and go shower with them them with your love and care! Turn their day (and yours) into a Live-Again-Day! They will be glad you did, and so will you!
Have a shower and have a Live-Again-Day!
