Heaven Praise by BLESSINGS



Heavenly Blessings that we Praise the Lord of Lords for -2008!!!
" Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, O my soul. (As Kent & I do )
I will praise the Lord all my Life;

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live."


Psalm 146: 1-2

So much to praise him for and so much to ponder and permanently place in my heart. Hadassah arrived with so much anticipation from our entire family. Kent, Mya, Tia, Faith, Emily and I had just had one of our family favorite meals when Hadassah began things in motion on the eve of what we celebrate to be the Christ child's birth. I have always cherished this time of the year since a very young age and now we have a child who we shared that day of Joy and celebration with for our entire family!

I was so very awed by the girls and how they played a VERY significant part on Christmas Eve! They were superb! All four of them made our Joy complete - Our family is Blessed 7 fold! The girls stepped up and stood in the gap in a very monumental time in all of our lives - and they surprised us with the warmest of "WELCOME HOME" ever!

Our praise is to give him All the Glory for the Life we've been selected to be BLESSED with for "such a time as this" in the season of our lives with Hadassah. Each of our daughters are a magnificent part of our family and we would never trade one of them for anything else! Our love for them is magnanimous!!! ;-) Each one has such an impacting role in our lives - which was reflected upon deeply on our trip home. When the question has been and still remains every now and again, "Mom, do You love any of us more?" or "Who is your favorite?" The answer is always the same. "You are my favorite ______(i.e. first, second, third, fourth) born!!!" They always smile and reply the same, "Mommy, I am the only ____ born!" to which I say, "That is right, and God knew You were the only one who could be in our family right there! I LOVE you more than you can imagine and you are perfectly placed right there to cement us together! ;-)" Hadassah will receive that same response and know just like them she is LOVED. By all of us!

I wish everyone could see our girls in action in our home since the moment they saw her on CHRISTmas Eve minutes after her birth!!! They have showered her with Love like no other! They are sooooo good to her and to one another to the point that I am just speechless! I am in the AWE of God with knowing Kent and I are truly BLESSED deeply with these 5 special ladies!!!!! Our task is to simply raise them in the Lord and know that He has blessed them and anointed them with a calling from Heaven also!

So our CHRISTmas morning gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes and presented as a gift also and she gave us all great JOY- I too will always cherish 2008 Christmas and ponder these things in my heart while continually PRAISING the LORD~ Amen and AMEN!!!
