Celebrating our Savior's Birth the past 48 hours has been pure JOY! A perk of adopting an older child during the busy holiday season? Sharing God's gift of His son with another and experiencing Christmas through a new pair of eyes.
What fun it was to roll the dough for our Christmas Eve pizza and decorate it with a 'J' for Jesus rather than an 'M' for Molly. Thanks for the new idea sweet girl. What joy it was to Skype with our friends in China and wish them a Merry Christmas from half way around the world. What fun to sit in the balcony at church so Molly could see all that was happening down below. What joy to read Luke 2 in English and then in Chinese while eating peppermint ice cream under the tree. What fun to have 5 stockings filled and 5 piles of gifts to open on Christmas morning. What joy to have rice and chili sauce on our table for Christmas dinner. Thank you, Molly, for the new eyes this Christmas celebrating Jesus' Birthday.
Oh I am so happy to see Molly with you this Christmas! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteSuch a JOY to watch Molly blossom in her new home! She is so precious! I always thought she seemed to have such a joyous spirit when I read the H.O.L. blog. So glad you have been blessed to have her as a daughter.

And she got her guitar! I bet she was thrilled! Tell Molly that Mrs. Kenney misses her! Happy New Year to all of you!
