best Christmas present ever

12.24.15

The most incredible gift we know of right now isn’t wrapped up in pretty paper or colorful bows. It’s not under a tree and will last far longer than any of the gifts that are.

I’ll allow Lydia to share the big news via her final first-grade journal entry of the year.

NJ has a family

That’s right.

NJ is getting the best Christmas gift ever, the assurance that a family has said yes and that a family—his family—is already working feverishly to get papers signed and gathered into a brown paper package tied up with string so that they can go get him in China and bring him home for good.

And, guess what? He’s going to grow up not all that far from us.

Can this Christmas be any merrier?

    Thank you heavenly Father for answering our prayers for a forever family for this precious boy- Such JOY and evidence of your grace and providential care. We praise your name for this good news on Christmas Eve- Rejoicing and my heart is smiling!!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
