I heard this song, Merry Christmas, by Third Day, on the radio and it expresses just what I'm feeling this year and what we've felt for half of the Christmases since we've been married- waiting for our next child to come home! The photos in this video I made start about 7 years ago- and if we adopt an older child that's a lot of Christmases where we weren't together. It makes me sad to think about it.
There are always plenty of things to make us sad, but after reading your words and watching your memories, I'm praising a God who "setteth the solitary in families". I'm thankful He put two people together with a common desire to have a family by extraordinary measures. Each one of your kids is a blessing and is blessed to have you for a mom. Have a wonderful Christmas because you have many, many gifts under your tree! :D
