Emma

 

Daily Gratitude Year Eleven-Day 189- Today, I am grateful for Emma.

I am so grateful for the sweet little girl who grew up to be our Daughter-In-Love. Today is her special day of celebrating her arrival into our world. 

We will never take for granted the rare blessing of knowing her from her birth and getting to watch her grow up with our son. 

We find her amazing in every way. She was always on the "short list" of girls you would love to add to your family, but what are the odds of it really happening outside of cultures where marriages are arranged by parents and families?

Their love story did not really bloom until they were adults, but it was well seeded, watered, and grew deep roots. I am so grateful Chase recognized the rare "pearl of great value" and didn't miss her because she was familiar and comfortable. 

"When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!" -Matthew 13:46

She will always be considered an answer to a lifetime of prayers for God's best for our son. She makes us laugh, smile, and adds so much to our family. 

Today, I am grateful for Emma.
