We took Addyson to see Santa last week. Let's just say she is NOT a fan!! I still got the priceless child screaming and crying pic. I figure it will come in handy later on in life!!! This Christmas Milton and I decided that we would start a new tradition. We want Addyson to realize what Christmas is all about so we "adopted" an angel off the Salvation Army tree. We picked a little girl that is the same age as Addyson. We got to buy her clothes, shoes and toys. I also put some books in there telling her how much Jesus loves her. I have prayed for this little girl and her family. I just hope we helped her have a Merry Christmas and have hopefully planted a seed for Jesus!! I know Addyson doesn't understand this now, but when she does understand, I want her to know that she has helped other children since she was a baby. She has had SO much done for her that it only felt right to do something for someone else.
I am putting together a scrapbook for Addyson. As I look at pictures from the last 14 months my heart is so full of joy. I just think about that little fragile baby in the NICU is now walking everywhere. I think about how many people love her and prayed for her during that trying time. I think it means more to me now than ever. I am just so grateful to My Lord for blessing us over and over again. I just think about how unworthy I am yet he continues to love me regardless. How amazing!!!!
I hope that each of you have a great Christmas!!!!
