Overwhelmed with Gratitude

As people are asking me this week, how I am doing, I don't even know where to begin. The only word that I can think of to explain how I feel is, "Grateful."

Grateful for:

- The awesome display of God's grace and mercy

- The peace that we felt in the midst of the worst days of our lives

- The love, support and encouragement that poured in all around us and met every need we had even before I knew of the need. We had friends and family providing, meals, a trailer at the hospital, care and rides for Nicholas and Cody, prayer, cards and balloons, a housekeeper, prayer, and more prayer. I have been completely humbled at the amount of love we have felt and I know that is what has literally carried us through.

- The donations that were received to help support us in our journey to adopt a child from Jamaica. While we were in the hospital, we received so many generous donations that we are almost half way to our goal! Truly humbling!

I told a friend yesterday that I don't even have the words to express the gratitude that is welling up in my heart. Thank you is just so insufficient. I wish I could just give you all a window to my heart so that you could see and know my love, my awe and my deep appreciation for every card, for every text, for every cookie, for every meal.

Thank you so much!
