The best gifts come in small packages!

Posted by & filed under Christmas/Advent, Evie Grace, Hazel, Heaven is a Wonderful Place, My Faith.

We received our first Christmas card of the season today.

It was addressed:
“Dear Ryan, Raechel, Oliver and Hazel,”
What a sight!
It made me really happy to see our names all in order together!
And I was okay with it – it didn’t make me sad – it made me really glad!
I don’t worry that Evie’s not included. I know Evie doesn’t need Christmas cards either.
She gets the best end of the deal – she is with Christ!
Anyway, it was fun to see our little family all written out. Like a little Christmas present!
Merry Christmas!

    >Today I was thinking about our little boy, Gilbert, that we lost in July. His due date was Christmas eve, and I started to feel sad that he wasn't going to be with us for his first Christmas. But then God gently reminded me that he's going to have the BEST first Christmas that he will remember always. And God has given our families an amazing Christmas gift this year of new life growing in our wombs. What a great joy to carry through this season.
    Merry Christmas

    >Seeing your baby's name written by someone is just truly magical. Hard to explain, but understood. It's the little things like that which mean so much!
