I cannot believe that I am actually typing this message. We have a court date! December 27th! So that means we will be in Ethiopia for Christmas! WOW! May I never stop being amazed at how good our God is! I prayed that He would have us in Ethiopia for Christmas because I didn’t want to wake up Christmas morning without seeing my Dad. You see for the last several years my Dad would come to Rochester on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas day with us. We would wake up, and the boys would open their gifts, afterwards my Dad would help us make the biggest breakfast of the year! We would then spend the day watching movies, nodding off from time to time and later (whenever we felt like it) while still in our pajamas we would cook a feast for dinner. It was so special to me! So, now that my Dad has gone to Heaven, I was dreading the thought of not seeing him this Christmas... It feels as though I am being given a gift. The taking something that would be very sad and replacing it with something new, a new memory to hold dear and forevermore Christmas morning will be filled with beloved memories of my Dad and the joy of meeting my new daughters! This is how great our God is!
Amazed and Grateful,
Lisa
