Roman picked up their son. “For two months old, I think they are quite advanced. Just see how he holds his head up.”
Judith laughed as her son pressed forward for a moment and then fell back. “To hear Roman tell it, they are able to perform miraculous feats unknown to other infants.”
She handed her fussing baby daughter to Martha and shed her jacket. She couldn’t help but feel aglow in the wonder of motherhood and all that God had given. Once again, she found herself thanking Him for His goodness.
She settled into the rocker and unfastened the buttons on her blouse. Martha brought her the baby, and Judith gently arranged her to nurse.
“My little Evie. Such a precious gift from God.”
At that, her son began to fuss, and Roman laughed. “I think he knows you’re speaking about his sister and not offering the same praise in regard to him.”
“Sweet Evan. You know your mother holds equal love for you.”
“No two babies could ever be loved more,” Martha said, heading for the door. “You know where I’ll be if you need me.”
Once she’d gone, Judith smiled and glanced at her husband as he made faces and babbled at their son. His face beamed with pride. She knew he’d never been happier because he’d told her that every day since they married. She had no idea of what the future might hold, but if their hearts remained faithful in the Lord, it was certain to be most satisfying.
