My heart ached for a third child for so many years. I never quite gave up hope but there were so many years of tears, prayers, arguing and counseling to get us to this day 8 years ago.
I knew you were meant to be in our family and so I never gave up. How sweet of God to bring you to us in His perfect timing. While it felt like such a big gap between you and your brother and sister, I wouldn’t change a thing.
You have lived up to your namesake, bringing great JOY to our family. Just like your birth announcement declared,
“The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with JOY.” Psalm 126:3
Thank you, sweet girl, for bringing life, light and laughter to our home each and every day. Mama loves you. xo
