Remembering all the firsts Isaac has had in the last 5 years and thinking ahead to all of the firsts that our girly will have when she gets home. (Isaac's first Easter egg photo absolutely slays me every year!).
Celebrating Christmas and Easter is going to particularly special. The Lord has had His hand on my little family LONG before we three were/are together. Someone shared the precious Gospel with the beautiful foster mother that loved and protected Isaac for 15 months. She loved Jesus by loving my boy. Now, my daughter knows the sweet offerings of prayer as she has been raised and is shepherded by the Sisters of Charity--women who love our Savior with passionate service. While I was never meant to be my childrens' first mother, I stand in full awareness and have the great joy of standing next in line to point their hearts towards their Heavenly Father. The mantel of spiritual parenting of my Little One and Sweet Girl is being passed to me by people who have worn it well. Can you imagine, on that day of days, when we all stand with our Risen Savior the JOY that will knit us eternally together?? I am so very excited to meet the long lines of people who loved Jesus into my family

We celebrated our Risen Savior this weekend---my sensory loving kiddo LOVED dying eggs in shaving cream!! (His slightly OCD mother did NOT enjoy dying eggs in shaving cream and proceeded to call her BFF begging to be reminded as to WHY we put ourselves through this. She offered some Hallmark card nonsense about childhood and memories or something crazy like that.)
The truth is, memories ARE being made. While I speak life into my child about Jesus's love for him and His death & resurrection, my boy offers his heart's interpretation:
Jesus go UP and be right back!
That is exactly right, buddy! Jesus rose from the dead, He went up to Heaven and He is coming back to get us, now we have Easter!
