MIRACLES

Preparing for the holiday season this year has had an almost magical feeling to it. I'm not sure if I have ever felt quite like this before. The snow is brighter, the house feels warmer, the Christmas tree is prettier.......and Elijah is HOME and getting ready to celebrate his first Christmas with our family.

I am overwhelmed by God's plan and how He has brought Elijah into our family. Elijah has been home since April and each day since then has brought an incredible amount of joy! It has been nothing short of amazing to watch my baby boy grow and learn all about his world.

This time last year, Elijah was a little orphan without a family, spending his days and nights in a Russian orphanage. He was unaware at the time but he was so loved and missed last Christmas. I had met Elijah for the first time in October of 2008 and by the time Christmas came around, my heart was aching terribly to have my youngest child home with us.

Now Elijah is home and I am flooded with emotion as I see all that God has blessed me with. Before I was even born, God knew that these two precious children, Caleb and Elijah would be my sons one day. And by the MIRACLE of God, Caleb and Elijah who were born thousands of miles away on the other side of this world, are home with us ..... according to His Plan.

So as this Christmas approaches, I am praising God for His Miracles!

"Rejoice evermore....In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God."

Thessalonians 5:16, 18 KJV

A Funny

Caleb is always grabbing someone's keys and trying to set their car alarm off before he gets caught. Today I caught him trying to set the alarm off on our truck with Elijah's keys! Too funny!!

Awwwww........

Tonight Caleb helped to decorate the Christmas tree. He was very serious for this one moment while putting his ornament on. So cute! Then it was back to driving his truck into the tree!
