After watching all the kids swim all summer long... her day had come!On the table in the foreground sat the box that held the representatives that would
symbolize this day of FREEDOM!!!!
The whole family gathered to see and feel the JOY! Family bound by blood and Family bound by THE BLOOD! All of us had prayed for this little girl the past nine months!
Elly made the arrangement and had the cake done exactly to her specifications.
The moment came... and Mommy waited with arms held high! Jump EE... JUMP
This bright day in August, our pool held more than just giggling kids and happy grandads, it held the hopes of all of us for the completeness of these past nine months of straightening and correcting. And yes, there were LOTS of GRINS and GIGGLES on this happy day!
After we gathered to praise the LORD for HIS perfect will and timing, we released 33 butterflies into the warm August breezes. Funny thing... they'd never known freedom, and they stayed close to us delighting us by staying on our fingers and our shoulders. I believe that true freedom has something directly linked to trust!We trust YOU FATHER because ONLY YOU know the future and try as we might, we can never truly know what is the best plan. Thus, we turn to YOU and tell you Thank YOU for loving us in such clear and sweet ways.
Today WE KNEW YOU SMILED too!
