Emma's first ornament!
I wanted to post a video that explains my heart this Christmas. I celebrate Christ's birth with my family this year with a piece missing, Emma Grace. May God bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you this special day of Jesus' birth. May you never know another lonely Christmas for all of your days, Emma! Momma loves you and is counting the days till I can hold you in my arms . God bless you with His perfect peace today!
If you can handle a cry...go ahead and listen. :)
Merry Christmas
by Third Day (written by Brad Avery)
There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Crying for momma's arms
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
There the forgotten are
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights
I'm warmed by the fire's glow
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,
Make angels in the snow
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child
And we celebrate his perfect gift of love
He came to earth to give his life
And prepare a place for us
So we could have a home with him above
It's Christmas time again and now you're home
Your family is here so you will never be alone
So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms
And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll tell you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas
Congrats on your daughter and the official RA!!! I saw your post on the AW yahoo group digest. I wanted to say Congrats! Also, last Christmas we were missing our baby girl. Now she is home. I pray your wait to travel is as quick as possible. We also waited for our sons over Christmas 2009. It is very hard when the holidays come, but Christmas was the hardest.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is precious and I can't wait to check back one day and see her in your arms!
