Sown in My Heart: Merry Christmas!

Dec 25, 2010

Merry Christmas!

I came across a song that explains just how we are feeling this CHRISTmas season. While we are happy to do the usual decorating of the house, baking cookies, playing in the snow and spending time with family. A piece of our heart still remains half a world away.

Lia,
We miss you more than you'll ever fully know. We've all prayed and waited for the day you would come home to us. We can't wait to hold you in our arms. With all our LOVE half a world away. Merry Christmas Princess.

Mama, Baba, Nathan, Emily and Ryan
LOVE YOU!

Oh, my goodness. Wow. Yes, I can totally relate. And I had no idea Third Day had a song like this either.

Can't wait til you can bring your Lia home, and I can't wait til we bring our little boys to our home, too. I hope you hear TA soon!

Faith

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
~Hebrews 10:24

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
~James 1:27

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
~Psalm 91:1-2

Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,and wait patiently for him to act.
~Psalm 37:5-7

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. ~Hebrews 10:32-36

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
~Hebrews 11:1

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper not harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.
~Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
~Proverbs 3:5-8

For this child I have prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked.
~1 Samuel 1:27

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
~1 Peter 5:6-7

A FATHER to the FATHERLESS and protector of widows is God in His holy dwelling. God places the LONELY IN FAMILIES and gives the desolate A HOME in which to dwell
Ps 68:5-6

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
~John 15:5

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
~Phil 4:13
