Our Greatest Gift

Can you believe that this little fellow, just five short months ago, probably wondered who in the world I was and what I was going to do with him???? Here we had only known each other for about an hour.

From wondering to wonderful excitement!!!!!


My sweet little girl who is always filled with song.


Three of my precious ones.



After our sweet Anna Kayla was born we were unable to have anymore children. So after many years of prayer we turned to adoption (I was adopted so it seemed like the most natural thing for us to do) that’s when we were blessed with Land. Even though our family seemed complete my heart yearned for more. How could I possibly ask God for more when I had already been given so much. But I did…………..on more than one occasion, and He blessed us with two more special gifts. For all of them I am forever grateful.


I remember the year that Land was born our church wanted him to be the baby Jesus in our Christmas Cantata. He was only six weeks old and I was concerned about him being in the arms of a stranger for even a short length of time. I had waited so long to hold this precious son of mine and it was hard for me to let him go for even a little while. Knowing this, I can not even imagine how God must have felt when He sent us the greatest gift of all, His son.




It is my prayer that this Christmas season, and after, that we offer more of ourselves through our praise, worship and obedience than ever before to the One who has given us so much…………..the greatest gift of all, the gift of salvation.


From our family to yours……………………Until next time.........


With each new day may Jesus be born afresh in your heart:
“Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David”
Luke2:11
Merry Christmas!!
