Christmas Night

What a busy day we had! God is so good! We had a wonderful dinner with our family. You were never far from my thoughts, Grace. I couldn't help but wonder what you did today.

Your Aunt Debi, Uncle Ron, Maribeth, Leigh-Anne and Chett gave you an adorable Tinkerbell Ornament. Miss Alexa and Nijel gave you a Humpalumps pocketbook.

Our favorite song this year is about you. Your brother N even wants it on his mp3 player. He calls it Grace's song. I posted the words below so we will always remember them.

Merry Christmas By Brad Avery of Third Day

There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Crying for momma's armsAt an orphanage just outside a little China town
There the forgotten are
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights
I'm warmed by the fire's glow
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,Make angels in the snow
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you hereI
t's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child
and we celebrate his perfect gift of love
He came to earth to give his life
and prepare a place for us so we could have a home with him above
It's Christmas time again and now you're home
Your family is here so you will never be alone
So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms
And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll tell you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas

Goodnight, Grace! Next Christmas you will be home!
