It's Christmas Eve day. Last night we celebrated with my husband's side of family. It was wonderful to have most of the family there this year. The above picture is of a muslin blanket I was given as a gift last night by my niece, Chelsea. It meant so much to receive this as one of Gus's first gifts and what a beautiful verse for reminding us of God's plan and timing during our greatest wait.
I kept thinking about how the next Christmas and how much I anticipate it as we will be holding our newest family member in our arms.
Then I think about how Mary and Joseph must have felt awaiting the birth of Jesus.
Talk about an arrival and perfectly timed planning by God, wow!
Some people may have been anticipating this "magical" arrival, where they had imagined how they thought it might go, others were just in total awe, shock,wonder. But God knew , and He made a way for the birth to happen at just the right time and His plan unfolded in the most extraordinary way.
What a gift. What a celebration. What awesome wonder.
Was I hoping for our referral phone call by Christmas? YES.
Did it happen? NO.
Is there a reason? ALWAYS.
Another incredible thing happened last night. We received three beautiful Christmas cards and each had a check written out by our family and had beautiful words and wishes for our little Gus.
OVERJOYED.
It's hard to say just "thank you" in these moments, but we are truly, sincerely thankful. Just to know that our family is equally in anticipation for Gus, just fills us up with joy.
Hope you have a blessed Merry Christmas.
It means so much that you are continuing to follow our journey.
