Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to wish you all a blessed Christmas!

We haven't yet seen our daughter's face, but she holds a very special place in our hearts and we can't wait for our first Christmas together as a family.  It's crazy how much love we already have for her, yet she has no idea that we even exist or how much we are missing her this Christmas.  Mike said to me tonight that he wishes we could just fast-forward a year or two and have our whole family here with us and be done with all this waiting.

Hug your family members this Christmas and thank God for the simple fact that you are all together!  It's something I've always taken for granted until this year when it feels like someone very important is missing from our lives.

Praying hard today that God comforts our little girl if she is alone in an orphanage this year. We can't wait to have her home with us where she belongs. We are looking forward to many years of wonderful Christmases with our little girl and hoping we can make up for the ones we have been apart.

Third Day is a Christian band that has a few songs I really enjoy.  I just came across a new one this year.  The guitar player from the band adopted a little girl from China and wrote this song while they were struggling with the wait to bring her home.  I apologize if it's a bit of a downer, but the end is happy, as they finally have their daughter in their arms!




Lyrics:Merry Christmas - Third Day

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
To 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 you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas
