A Tiny Baby Can Change The World

December 25, 2012

As I reflect over the many blessings bestowed on my family this Christmas, I am in awe of God's miraculous wonders.  We have had a very blessed Christmas and a year full of enumerable blessings; I can't even begin to count them.  We are healthy,prosperous, and live in the land of the free.  As I reflect over the past year, Nick and I have been blessed more than we deserve but we also realize there are pieces of our family missing.  As I scroll through Facebook and see all the little ones celebrating their first Christmas I feel joy and happiness but I also feel loss ... for you see our littles ones would be enjoying their Christmas today too.  But as much as my heart aches for them they are in Heaven celebrating with the sweetest baby of all... Baby Jesus of whom we celebrate his birth today.

As most of you all know by know Nick and I formally signed with an adoption agency on November 13, 2012.  We are currently in the process of filling out lots of paperwork and hope to have our home study complete by spring and be illegible to be adoptive parents.  While neither Nick nor I felt the call to adopt at the same time ... the point is we ARE called and we are here to open our home and our hearts.  This Christmas we pray for the new baby that will be joining our family in the future and we pray God will begin to prepare our hearts to be the Christian parents he has called us to be.

So this Christmas and through the upcoming days until we are united with our precious little one we ask you to join us in prayer.  First of all we ask for you to pray that God's will be done in all the lives involved in the process.  Second, we ask that you pray for the birthmother who will unselfishly share her tiny miracle with us.  Third, we ask that God will help make provisions financially for our family that we may accept the call God has laid before us.

Christmas Blessings From Our Family To Yours,
Phyllis
