We finally celebrated Christmas! We may have had fried porkchops in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, but we finally had a real Christmas dinner with turkey, ham, and chocolate cream pie. We had a wonderful day yesterday with the whole family here. Paw Paw and Mimi Mills came, along with Brian, Karen, and little cousins Elizabeth and Molly from Beaumont. And Pammie and Poppie Smith were here too. It was so fun getting everyone together in Baton Rouge to celebrate. And boy did we have much to celebrate! Greg and I felt VERY blessed being able to spend Christmas with Hannah, even if it was a month late! The meaning of Christmas is always the same no matter when it is celebrated! So while we were thankful for the birth of Christ, we were also so thankful to have a healthy Hannah home with us. Two awesome miracles! She has been doing extremely well at home and is still eating like a horse. She was wide-eyed as we opened presents, just taking it all in and enjoying every second. The best Christmas gift we’ve ever had. We are still believing for her complete healing and know that God is watching over her. Some of our favorite verses from Psalm 91…
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” (vs. 4)
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (vs. 11)
“Because He loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue Him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” (vs. 14-16)
To many more Merry Christmases! New pictures coming soon…
