When the kids were littel I would many times sing "Zipidee Do Dah" song to wake them for school. I know they were pretty irritated, but everyday was a new beginning and a "wonderful, ordinary, day." It's been one of those days to just stop and "smell the roses." Rocking my Lyse, kissing my Ashley, telling "mommy" stories to Avery, and remembering with Ally when she stayed here in Jan. What more could I ask for? I saw Emily's childhood friends, my good friend Kaye Smith, old friends like Lu and Shirley and REAL friends like Cindy Mac, Cheryl, and Robbie. It's hard to see anything but beautiful blue skies and and an absolutely blessed life. WOW, I am amazed at what God has given me. The BEST part of the day was spending time with MY two kids and the best son-in-law anyone could ever ask for .....all this brought together by one little girl orphaned in China.
If you stop to think about it, that one day, a mother sacrificially left her sweet baby at the gate of an orphanage in Lowdi City (probably for her little one to receive medical help) and THAT little girl is now in our family. And that ONE child brought together all of us to celebrate....mmmmmm...one BABY that CHANGED THE WORLD..kinda sounds like another story I know. God uses the smallest of us for HIS glory.
WHAT A WONDERFUL, ORDINARY DAY...AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?
