Little Eli and Me

This is one of my new favorite photos.

There’s a lot one can glean from this picture of a sweet and innocent newborn as they grasp the hand of their mother.

This is how I feel when it comes to my relationship with the Savior. I often find myself clinging on as I experience this journey called “life.” I’m eternally grateful He is always there for me … sometimes I just need to remember to fully and completely turn to Him.

  1. Beautiful picture! Motherhood is a beautiful and humbling experience! And good luck with the gym, too…it’s tough but so worth it.

  4. Such a sweet photo. I love baby hands.

  5. i love the photo, but even more i love the parallel that you drew to our dependence on the savior. sometimes we forget how tightly we need to grasp his hand. i love that motherhood teaches me about the lord and his plan for us all the time. what a blessing!

  14. Yes, I would still love the gift from your site if you haven’t chosen someone else. Sorry, we don’t have the internet at home, so I don’t check my email as often as I should.

  15. Beautiful post in every way! Thanks.

  16. I love your picture and your analogy. This is my first time visiting your site; I linked here through mormon-blogs and found some fun similarities. I’m a mom of 2 boys and a girl, too. I’ll check back often to see how YOU do it. Feel free to visit my blog as well:

  21. I have always wanted to take one of these photos but I’m too vain and don’t like the way my hands look close up. (Ever seen Seinfeld’s Man Hands episode?)

    But this is beautiful, and I love the correlation you’ve made with it.

    That’s so beautiful – I love those little baby fingers. And what a great analogy. Wonderful thoughts you’re having lately.

  23. Beautiful! I love the black and white photos.
