Oh, it’s close now. I’ve been waiting for Christmas since Thanksgiving. My best friend is coming. The tree house ladder goes up AND we get to eat Honey Baked ham. YUM! I’ve been baking this week and will make another trip to the grocery store today for the ingredients for TRASH (or party mix) as it’s called in my family.
Do any of you remember Phil and Lisa Roberts who gave birth to quadruplets a little over a year ago? Phil has written a book about their journey. It’s wonderful. I just finshed reading it and you can download a copy for only $6.25. The book parallels Mary and Joseph’s journey with their own and is called appropriately called IN THE SHADOW OF A MANGER.
All proceeds (if any) will go to the children’s college fund. They also have begun a charity Project Seahorse. You can read all about it, Phil’s book and their desire to help keep NICU families afloat on the links above. They are a wonderful Christian couple from Georgia and we met them when they purchased our big GMC conversion van from us about a year and a half ago. (On Ebay of all places) If you feel led to support this family in their efforts to help others please visit the HERE to purchase a paperback, hardback or downloadable book.
Let me know if you visit their site and leave a comment here. They have a wonderfully encouraging story. Here are Danielle, Benjamin and Casey. They’ve grown so quickly since coming home. Emily died shortly after birth and that is why you only see three kids pictured here in the bathtub. Several people have asked so I just wanted to mention her living happily with her Lord.
What a blessed Christmas they will have this year.
And I pray all of us will too.
IN HIM,
Julie
I didn't realize that you got to know them through selling them your van. That is wild!
Have a wonderful Christmas. Sounds like its going to be awesome. I umm…didn't get my Christmas cards mailed. I'm hoping that they can at least be New Years cards!
Have a wonderful Christmas with yoru family and friends!
Blessings,
Maria
